      one thing i don't get: how the notion of "being-towards" is distinct from intentionality in eschewing an object

      i understand why you would want to get rid of objects and intentionality, but i don't get how "towards" doesn't imply an object

      I wasn’t sure I remembered the text well enough to give an answer without checking, but @FateOfTwist_ gave same ones I would have, so

      so presumably they are right and I don’t need to check! Some further points, though:

      you don’t need to have the towards-which in mind for your activity to be organized by it. You might not be aware of it at that time, or >

      you could be entirely ignorant of it (if contributing to a group project whose aim no one explained to you).

      (I think this is probably right although not altogether confident without going back to the text.)

      Other thing to say is that everyone, including later H himself, agrees that the whole analysis of being-toward-death is unfixably wrong

      and that is where the general analysis of being-toward was headed, so you probably don’t need to take that concept seriously either

      Dreyfus’ opinion was: ready-to-hand vs present-at-hand is the main insight worth rescuing.

      Definitely, not all Heideggerians agree. There’s other stuff in there that may be right & important too. But a lot is just wrong.

          … I’ve just looked at the B&T index and there’s a lot of being-towards.

          If one passage particularly prompted your question, I can try to offer an amateur interpretation.
