Prior to any mathematical/scientific understanding of an object is the nature of the existing human being (dasein) to receive the being of a being. Scientific knowledge is derivative on this knowledge of dasein and is not therefore objective in the sense claimed. It is dependent on the nature of dasein. Without dasein there is no truth. Thus Heidegger says that Kant brought us to the study of dasein’s capability of knowing being, though Kant may have drawn back.
