List, Is anyone here conversant with the work of Martin Heidegger?
I'm researching Heidegger's Dasein in the context of "knowing how to be". My thesis is that Dasein IS "knowing how to be". This has implications for imitation-as-pragmatism, which relates directly to Peirce's pragmatism, and how we define the things that matter. In Being and Time, Heidegger comes excruciatingly close to my interpretation, albeit rather verbosely, but he never quite nails it, at least in succinct terms. But I'm not a Heidegger scholar at all, and so I depend on search terms, in the pdf version of his book, like "Being in the world" or "knowing" or "modes of being", to try to zero in on it... so far with very limited success. Is anyone here sufficiently conversant with Heidegger to point me in the right direction? Any tips would be appreciated. I think that a synthesis of Heidegger with Peirce can yield fresh insights.
