Facticity is something that already informs and has been taken up in existence, even if it is unnoticed or left unattended. As such, facticity is not something individuals come across and directly behold. In moods, for example, facticity has an enigmatic appearance, which involves both turning toward and away from it. For Heidegger, moods are ...
The question concerning technology is asked, as Heidegger notes, “so as to prepare a free relationship to it.” [2] The relationship will be free “if it opens our human existence to the essence of technology.” [2] This is because “[o]nly the true brings us into a free relationship with that which concerns us from out of its essence.” [3] Thus, questioning uncovers the questioned in ...

In “The Flip Side of Fear”, we look at some common phobias, like sharks and flying, but also bats, germs and strangers. We tried to identify the origin of these fears and why they continue to exist when logic tells us they shouldn’t.
Heidegger states that, "The 'they' prescribes one's state-of-mind, and determines what and how one 'sees'." To give examples: when one makes an appeal to what is commonly known, one says "one does not do such a thing"; When one sits in a car or bus or reads a newspaper, one is participating in the world of 'the They'.
