Heidegger’s term Dasein appropriately refers to :

  • A.Fundamental being
  • B.Being-in-itself
  • C.Being-in-the-world
  • D.Being-for-itself

Answer: C

Dasein refers to being-in-the-world.

In Being and Time (1927), Heidegger uses Dasein ('being-there') for the human being as the entity for whom its own being is an issue. Its basic structure is being-in-the-world: Dasein is not a subject set over against objects but is always already involved in a world of things, tasks and other people.

Being-in-itself and being-for-itself are Sartre's terms, for things and for consciousness respectively. 'Fundamental being' is not Heidegger's description of Dasein, though his analysis of Dasein serves as fundamental ontology.
