ABSTRACT
Being-in-the-world and the notion of Care as the meaning of Dasein do no more than unseat the Cartesian tradition. As an explanation of the Being of entities, and the self, the analysis is incomplete, and as an explanation of how experience works it is inadequate. By the end of Division One Heidegger has successfully unseated the perspective of the isolated Cartesian subject and opened up the possibility of an alternative non-spectatorial starting point for the understanding of the self, the world, and experience. Dasein is able to project itself forward in time, to imagine a state of affairs that is to frame itself in terms of its possibilities. This is so up until the end of Dasein's Being, until death, and yet in death Dasein is precisely not that which it has been. Inauthentic Dasein lost in "the they" must find itself. The analysis of death shows the possibility of Dasein's potentiality-for-being-a-whole and for being authentic.
