"世界の中で存在することがダスザインの基本的な状態である。"
— Martin Heidegger
Simplified Meaning:
Being-in-the-world means that a person is fundamentally connected to the world around them. You don’t just live in the world separately; your existence is deeply intertwined with your environment and the people you interact with. Imagine a tree in a forest—the tree grows, gets sunlight, and takes in rainwater, all of which affect its life and existence. Similarly, we are influenced by our surroundings and society in everything we do. In simpler terms, you can’t separate yourself from your world and experiences. If someone grows up in a small village, their life will be shaped by the people, culture, and events in that village. Those experiences become a part of who they are. This idea suggests we should pay attention to how our environment shapes us and our actions. By understanding this connection, we can make better choices and better understand ourselves. Just as a fish needs water to live, we need our world to exist—they shape each other.
