Dasein (German pronunciation:[ˈdaːzaɪn]) is a German word which means "being there" or "presence" (German: da "there"; sein "being") often translated in English with the word "existence". It is a fundamental concept in the existential philosophy of Martin Heidegger particularly in his magnum opusBeing and Time. Heidegger uses the expression Dasein to refer to the experience of being that is peculiar to human beings. Thus it is a form of being that is aware of and must confront such issues as personhood, mortality and the dilemma or paradox of living in relationship with other humans while being ultimately alone with oneself.
Heidegger's re-interpretation
In German, Dasein is the vernacular term for "existence", as in "I am pleased with my existence" (Ich bin mit meinem Dasein zufrieden). The term Dasein has been used by several philosophers before Heidegger, most notably Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, with the meaning of human "existence" or "presence". It is derived from da-sein, which literally means being-there/there-being – though Heidegger was adamant that this was an inappropriate translation of Dasein.

As Beauvoir confessed, neither she nor her boyfriend could make much of the Heidegger piece – not surprisingly, given its difficulties both in thought and style – but now, listening to Aron’s account of phenomenology, they began to see the outlines of a philosophical method that would dispense with tired old conundrums and deal directly with the world of things, including human beings, and human Being – what Heidegger called Dasein....
