Hannah on Martin.
Heidegger is wrong: man is not “thrown” “in the world;” if we are thrown, then – no differently from animals – onto the earth. Man is precisely guided, not thrown, precisely for that reason his continuity arises and the way he belongs appears. Poor us, if we are thrown into the world!

Interesting thought.

I think this translation would get the point across a little more clearly:

Heidegger is wrong: man is not "thrown" "into the world"; if we are thrown, then—just like animals—we are thrown onto the earth. But into the world man is guided, not thrown—there, in the world, is where his continuity is produced and his belonging is revealed. Woe to us, if we are thrown into the world!
