ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the authors outline key terms relevant to a theory of nothing in M. Heidegger’s philosophy. They describes concepts such as Being-there, Being-in-the-world, technology, nothing, time/place/dwelling and projection. It is possible to claim that Dasein’s own existence can be transformed and realized on the basis of its being part of other usage contexts. Transcendence is the fundamental aspect of Dasein on the basis of which it can relate to any other being, i.e. in the entrepreneurial team, competitors, partners. It is being-in-the-world, as the basic way in which Dasein is in the world, as disclosive, and as temporal. Existential questions can be posed only based on Dasein as a way of existence, and it is only based on Dasein that existential questions are not always posed. From this perspective it is possible to see that different forms, or modi, of Dasein exist.
