Radical Finitude: Heidegger and the Hermeneutics of the Self

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper analyzes the notion of “care” (Sorge) in Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit (1927). Human beings, according to Heidegger, are fundamentally beings that care for their own existence. The first part of the paper analyzes the textual structure of Sein und Zeit. Subsequently, the paper analyzes the notion of care as a description of the most fundamental existential structure of human beings. Finally, in the third part, the paper focuses on a particular yet extremely important feature of care, namely its structural relationship to its own end, its finitude, its death. This is what Heidegger calls “Being-towards-Death” (Sein-zum-Tode). In the conclusion, the paper broadens the perspective and briefly compares Heidegger’s notion of care with some of the alternative visions of human beings in modern philosophy.
