We-problem in Heidegger's Thought

"Our Dasein", "our today's Dasein", "our historical Dasein" and the like are idioms that Heidegger uses very often in his works especially during the first years after the publication of his Being and Time. The high frequency of occurrence such idioms suggest that they cannot philosophically be neutral and pointless. A similar search in Heidegger's works reveals besides his uses of Dasein the pronoun "we" has also a philosophical significance, so that we could observe the unfolding of this theme in his lectures and writings. Apart from presentation of the development of this theme in Heidegger's important works, the present paper also treats: 1. That the "we-problem" is in Heidegger's works thematized philosophically. 2. What Heidegger means with "we" and why he questions "us"? 3. How is the We-problem related to Daein? In so far as pronoun "we", i. e. the "we", defines the Dasein concretely, we could say we are entitled to speak of the "we-definition" of Dasein. Finally, what are the consequences of this problematic for interpreting and understanding Heidegger's philosophy?
