An act of existence, meaning that Dasein participates in the existence of
the objects it contemplates, not simply perceives it and thinks/talks about
it.

> For Heidegger Dasein is transcendence, this is what

Which means that it transcends a given discourse (theory) on existence, not
the Existence itself (as really-metaphysical existent).
