Research Abstract

In this research we have variously tried to understand the temporal structures of "our being aware of our own life," where we can find the central question about the connection between Heidegger's concept of "Dasein" and the Bergsonian "Pure Duration." The most important achievement was that we found a way to reinterpret the so-called "burdensome character of existence(Lastcharakter des Daseins)" as "advent-character of life." Through deliberating on this concept, we prepared to answer the question why a sort of nihilism is almost inevitable for our temporal self-understanding of life and how we can possibly overcome it.
