    Martin Heidegger was a German philosopher who developed the concept of "being-in-the-world", which describes humans ("Dasein") as inherently situated within the world, immersed in culture, language and social structures, and unable to separate themselves from these influences. He argued that people are defined by and experience the world through their temporal situation and era. Being-in-the-world also means that humans exist in relationship with other people and are social beings connected to others from birth.

    MARTIN HEIDEGGER:

    BEING-IN-THE-WORLD
    •September 1889- May 1976
    •German philosopher
    •“Father of Existential Phenomenology”
    Man as “DASEIN” a German word which literally
    means being there. This tells us that our very being is
    to be there, to be in the word-being-in the-world. “To
    be in the world” means that our experiences re always
    situated in our world.
    Being in the world also means to be with other people.
    Just like the case of things, the moment we are born,
    we already connected with people our parents
    primarily. Our being is situated in the world inevitably
    links us to people. And these links are not simple
    categories that are transformative.
    Finally, being-in-the-world means that we are not just
    situated in th place and immersed in a particular
    culture, language, and social structures. No one can
    himself from culture, language , and social structures.
    We are born in a particular era that allows us to see the
    world within the lens of that era.
    We often hear older people start their
    statement with “Noong panahon….” to
    indicate the difference in their temporal
    situation that made them look at the
    world in a certain way.
    Q: How we should better lead our lives?

    A: We should spend more time in the grave


    yards.

    -Heidegger (1961)
