1. Heidegger, M. Being and Time (1927): What we seek is guided by what is sought. Every inquiry contains within it the nature of the questioner, i.e. their Being. When ask “what is ‘is’?” we are constrained by our own “is”. We do not even have a horizon for this question.
3. “Dasein”, “Being there”, is used by Heidegger in its everyday sense. He seems to mean by it any person who has such being, who is an ‘entity’ himself. reasoning about Being cannot be circular, for it is not the first axiom of an argument.

4. There is no circularity in reasoning about Being, but there is a backward-forwardness.
