I.ii The Formal Structure of the Question of Being

The relation between the question of being and the being of the entity askin the question is integral to Heidegger's reformulating the structure of the question and therefore leads him to conclude that "we must make an entity-the inquirer-transparten in his own being. The very asking of this question is an entity's mode of being; and as such it gets its essential character from waht is inquired about-namely, Being." (Heidegger, p.27)

This brings the term Dasein to the surface.
