Bob states, “To begin with, we need to recall that the stand Dasein takes on
itself, its existence, is not some inner thought or experience; it is the
way Dasein acts. (What makes a Japanese baby a Japanese baby is first and
foremost what it does and how things show up for it, and only derivatively its
thoughts, assuming it has any.) Dasein takes a stand on itself through its
involvement with things and people. In everyday terms, we understand ourselves
and our existence by way of the activities we pursue and the things we take
care of. To exist then means, among other things, relating to oneself by being
with beings”….

I ask, “In what sense of Dasein is a monad a monad”?

Jud:
The *existence* or *Being* (the fact of being here on earth) cannot *DO,
SAY OR THINK Sweet Fanny Adams. Only the existing human can take a stand, or
stand on his head - or whatever.
*Existence* has not got a self - any more than *dancing* has got a dancer.
Neither has the human *got* a *self.* The term is simply our way of
referring to our own psycho-corporeal actuality. The acting does not exist - only the
acting actor is present.

WAKE UP - its 2008! You are an victims of your ontological misapprehension
of language.

Jud.
