Questions:

"Being-in-the-world is essentially care" (Heidegger, p. 237 (193)). Explain. What does it mean to say that Dasein "is in such a way as to be its 'there'"? What is thrownness? What does it mean to say that Dasein is a "thrown projection"? What is falling? How is it related to thrownness? Why does Being-in-the-world cause anxiety (angst)? "The Being of Dasein means ahead-of-itself-Being-already-(in-the-world) as Being-alongside (entities encountered within-the-world)." Explain.
