Abstract

The contradiction between the temporality concerning the Ability-to-be (Seinkonnen) and Dasein of ego is the embodiment of the dialectics. Martin Heidegger thinks, although we are dying as long as we exist, most of us do so by way of falling (Verfallen). It is elaborated in this paper that identity exists between the ego and the other at the authenticity level. The authenticity (Eigentlich) of the ego intervenes through the “particularity” to realize the identity between the individual ego and the world of the other as a universal cause and effect. This important and hidden intermediary is where the ego and the non-ego form a closed integral structure, which makes possible the active construction of the ego at the height of reason. The opposition between the ego and the other is directly perceived, and the mutual definitive property under this perception represents as a reinforcement of the “individuality” of the ego. While this “individuality” is confirmed in the form of “particularity”, whose true identity is precisely the embodiment of the universal truth of the reality above all things. The moment an ego separates itself from the world as representation, it is immediately sent to the universal identity of the world as essence through the “particularity”. As it is imperative to expose this Klein Bottle-like structure, many attempts and exploration have been made in this paper.
