Being can be understood through Dasein because Dasein can encounter and reflect on the question of what it means to be. He identified human beings as Dasein (German there-Being), a way of life shared by members of a community. In his magnum opus Being and Time published in 1927, Heidegger developed new ways to understand the meaning of Being (German Sein). Heidegger proposed going back to the way Parmenides had sought to explain Being as the underlying meaning of the word “being” in all beings. He also argued that philosophers were falsely equating the “beingness” of beings with Being when it was only one aspect of Being. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) suggested an “overthrow” of metaphysics because he believed that philosophers from Aristotle onwards had forgotten to inquire what Being really meant on its own. Heidegger and Deleuze were the pre-eminent Western inquirers into Being in modern times.
