Let us consider the fact that in order for Dasein to exist intelligibly it requires a degree of inauthenticity. Dasein exists within what Heidegger calls ‘world’, i.e. a pre-conscious and even pre-conceptual network of meanings and significations. As Being-in-the-world Dasein finds all he comes into contact with as ready-to-hand, viz. as already occupying an understood place, role and function within Dasein’s world in such a manner that we must think of it not as an ‘understanding’, but a pre-understanding of sorts, an intuition.
