disclosedness ; and the structure of worldhood, significance, turned out to be bound up with that upon which understanding projects itself—namely that potentiality-for-Being for the sake of which Dasein exists.
The temporal Interpretation of everyday Dasein must start with those [335] structures in which disclosedness constitutes itself: understanding, state-of-mind, falling, and discourse. The modes in which temporality temporalizes are to be laid bare with regard to these phenomena, and will give us a basis for defining the temporality of Being-in-the-world. This leads us back to the phenomenon of the world, and permits us to delimit the specifically temporal problematic of worldhood. This must be confirmed by characterizing that kind of Being-in-the-world which in an everyday manner is closest to us—circumspective, falling concern. The temporality of this concern makes it possible for circumspection to be modified into a perceiving which looks at things, and the theoretical cognition which is grounded in such perceiving. The temporality of Being-in-the-world thus emerges, and it turns out, at the same time, to be the foundation for that spatiality which is specific for Dasein. We must also show the temporal Constitution of deseverance and directionality. Taken as a whole, these analyses will reveal a possibility for the temporalizing of temporality in which Dasein's inauthenticity is ontologically grounded; and they will lead us face to face with the question of how the temporal character of everydayness—the temporal meaning of the phrase 'proximally and for the most part', which we have been using constantly hitherto—is to be understood. By fixing upon this problem we shall have made it plain that the clarification of this phenomenon which we have so far attained is insufficient, and we shall have shown the extent of this insufficiency.
The present chapter is thus divided up as follows: the temporality of disclosedness in general (Section 68); the temporality of Being-in-the-world and the problem of transcendence (Section 69) ; the temporality of the spatiality characteristic of Dasein (Section 70) ; the temporal meaning of Dasein's everydayness (Section 71).
¶ 68. The Temporality of Disclosedness in General
Resoluteness, which we have characterized with regard to its temporal meaning, represents an authentic disclosedness of Dasein—a disclosedness which constitutes an entity of such a kind that in existing, it can be its very 'there'. Care has been characterized with regard to its temporal meaning, but only in its basic features. To exhibit its concrete temporal Constitution, means to give a temporal Interpretation of the items of its structure, taking them each singly: understanding, state-of-mind,
