While in Heidegger, embodiment may be non-contingent, but the body is bounded only by possibility. David Cerbone writes that Heidegger leaves open the possibility for Dasein to be embodied in radically different ways so that in vast diversity and possibility each Dasein exists as though a species unto itself. This is related to the second consequence of Dasein being delivered over to its own Being in that Dasein can not be spoken ontologically as an instance of a genus. This is the primordial existentiale of Jemeinigkeit, where Dasein has in each case only ‘mineness’. This means that Dasein is spoken of as ‘I’ and ‘you’ but not however as ‘we’.
