Martin Heidegger adapted the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl to an analysis of the being of humans, or Dasein (“being there”). His approach overturned centuries of egocentric theorizing in epistemology by positing that Dasein is a “Being-in-the-world,” a condition of already being “thrown” into, or caught up in, a world of everyday cares, commitments, and projects.
