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”?
If it is a windowless monad it is impervious to dasein and a process of
entelecheia.
