CHAPTER FIVE
Being-in as Such
§ 28. The Task of a Thematic Analysis of Being-in
In the preparatory stage of the existential analytic of Dasein we have for our leac:Ung theme this being's basic constitution, being-in-theworld. Our first aim is to bring into relief phenomenally the unitary primordial structure of the being of Dasein by which its possibilities and ways "to be" are ontologically determined. Until now, the phenomenal characterization of being-in-the-world has been directed toward the structural moment of the world and has attempted to provide an answer to the question of the who of this being in its everydayness. But in first sketching out the tasks of a preparatory fundamental analysis of Dasein we already provided an orientation to [131] being-in as such1 and demonstrated it by the concrete mode of knowing the world.2
The anticipation of this sustaining structural moment arose out of the intention of enclosing the analysis of individual moments, from the outset, within a steadfast anticipation of the structural whole, and with the intention of guarc:Ung against any disruption and fragmentation of the unitary phenomenon. Now, keeping in mind what has been achieved in the concrete analysis of world and who, we must turn our interpretation back to the phenomenon of being-in. By considering this more penetratingly, however, we shall not only get a new and more certain phenomenological view of the structural totality of being-inthe- world, but shall also pave the way to grasping the primordial being of Dasein itself, care.
But what more is there to point out in being-in-the-world beyond the essential relations of being together with the world (taking care), being-with (concern), and being a self (who)? There is still the
