Who is Dasein? | Heidegger - Being and Time | Phenomenology

Welcome to Back to the Texts Themselves, a series on phenomenology. Today I examine Part I of the introduction to Being & Time.
In this video, I address the following questions
1) What is Being?
2) Why should we inquire into its meaning?
3) Who is Dasein?

best english Being and Time introduction I've seen so far. the fact that you are able to explain it so accessible and simple shows how well founded your understanding of it is. great job! The "Da" in Dasein is probably best translated as "open" or "disclosed". :) (side note: on my profile pic I'm standing in front of Heidegger's childhood home in Messkirch)

Hi First of all, thank you for taking the time to go over this not-so-accessible texts. Greatly appreciated to those of us who are attracted to philosophy. I am reading *Being and Time* along with your mini lectures and I am struggling with a specific word: comport. Could you please dedicate some time to elaborate on what Heidegger might possibly mean by "comport" in such a passage as: "That kind of Being towards Dasein can comport itself in one war or another, and always does comport itself somehow, we call existence".
Thanks!

Can you help me...
In the question of: What is Being in general.. or as such?
Did Heidegger answer this question?

If Dasein is being that is defined by its existence and existence is being in its relation to Dasein (those are just the definitions) then Dasein is being that is defined by its relation to Dasein, which is just the identity relation and kind of obvious?
