But it is Time that Being becomes, it is in Time that each of us, (Heidegger’s word for this is Dasein) must choose the life we live. In his 8-part series on Being and Time from the Guardian, Simon Critchley writes:
The main conclusion of Heidegger’s work is that being is time. Not the space-time continuum of the physicists, but the existential continuum of an “I” (Dasein) thrown into existence, pulled by its past, and projecting into its future.
