Is Heidegger's 'Dasein' just human consciousness?
No, Dasein is not merely subjective consciousness. It is rather our unique way of existing, characterized by 'being-in-the-world.' Dasein is always already engaged, concerned, and involved with the things and people around it. It is a 'disclosedness' to the world, a projection of possibilities. The emphasis is not on internal mental states but on the concrete, situated, and temporal way of being that we are.
