The present paper aims to show that Heidegger’s concept of “facticity” is the primary form of his Dasein concept. Firstly, it explicates the three components of facticity meaning: 1. the concretion and reality; 2. the human individual characteristics; 3. the historicality which is based on the "averageness" and "everydayness" of Dasein or facticity. The textual bases of the paper are Heidegger’s writings known as Report to Natorp (the beginning of autumn 1922) and his lecture Ontology (The Hermeneutics of Facticity) (summer 1923). Based on these two texts, the paper, secondly, argues that facticity and Dasein are identical, due to their shared characteristics: anxiety, everydayness, death, care, Being-in-the-world, language, temporality, and finally existence. The paper tries to distance methodologically from the current Heidegger’s studies, which are extremely founded on Being and Time.

According to the common sense, Dazein is the Heidegger's philosophical title on the general concept of man; i.e. man in the true sense. But a closer examination of Heidegger's works in the near future of existence and time shows that he in fact considers a particular type of human being. Thus, Heidegger attempts in various ways to clarify Determinations and existences of Dasein. One of his ways is to examine the distinction that Dasein takes from metaphysics. Dasein has a strong link with metaphysics, which Heidegger explores in detail in his works of those years. He even says that Dazean is the same as metaphysics. Thus, when Dasein is really Dasein that it is in front of metaphysics and its guidance question. On the other hand, Heidegger sees metaphysics as a completely specific and historical phenomenon that has only been realized in the West and not in any other nation or culture. But because the existence of the Dasein is definite to western metaphysics and its history, so Dasein can not be any human.The most important consequence of the current research is that Heidegger, with Dasein, in fact, considers a European man.

The question of freedom has been one of the most famous and also most important issues in the history of philosophy. But Heidegger's approach to this question is privileged and outstanding. This article tries to convey the idea of freedom in three phases of Heidegger's thought, on the basis of three important concepts: human being, world and Being. If the question of freedom in Being and Time concentrates on the concept of Dasein and his returning to himself as the pure possibility, in the writings between the years 1928 to 1931, the idea of transcendental freedom is posed in relation to the concept of the world. Here, freedom as the ground of every grounding, let Dasein connect the beings as a whole and build a world. Finally, since 1931, the question of freedom tied to the issue of Being and became the fundamental condition of unconcealment as the truth of Being.

In this paper, we shall demonstrate that the Cartesian approach to the res extensio and taking it as the most fundamental, essential determination of Vorhandenheit, though Descartes’ ontology is not rich enough to explain the relationship between pure extension and Dasein’s existential spatiality, has its own phenomenological justifications in Heidegger’s view. In order to clarify Heidegger’s stance, we shall first study the distinctive characteristics of existential space as well as its ontological foundations. Meanwhile, existential space proves to be ultimately rest on Dasein’s own existence. Next, we shall turn to the transition from existential space to Cartesian space as a pure extension via the process of Entweltlichung. Cartesian space will thus prove to be a necessary resultant of depriving existential space of its richness and purposiveness of human meanings. It is in the context of this more comprehensive ontology that the relation of Cartesian space with existential one and spatiality of Dasein, on one hand, and the ontological deficiency of Cartesian approach, on the other, would be elucidated. Finally, we shall show that assuming extension as the essential determination of Vorhendenheit, and thus Cartesian space, as a totally meaningless, and deprived of all Dasein’s circumspective concerns which underlie existential space and Dasein’s everyday experience, is not so much refuted by Heidegger’s ontology as regarded to be phenomenologically justified. Moreover, It is so fertile that has paved the way for the subsequent paradigm shift in mathematics and theoretical physics in the 19th century.

Understanding logic, the possibility of new logics and also recognition (understanding) of grounds of metaphysics entails understanding of the truth of language. Language always recognized as the system of signs and in order to convey thoughts. Heidegger is one of the thinkers who has presented a special thought in this area. In Being and Time, Heidegger recognizes speech as one of the existential characteristics of Dasein and believes that the understanding of being in the world is already unconcealed in speech. Later, Heidegger concentrates on the issue of language more fundamentally and asserts that language is the house of Being and Being unconceals itself in language. Dasein is absorbed in the speech of Being and Being is concealed in the speech of Dasein. Dasein can approach the truth of language in Angst. The speech of Being, is the ground of the language of the great thinkers and poets which renders the ground of the history of a people.

This paper is intended to be an account of existential spatiality based on an analogy with Heidegger’s way of treating the issues of ecstatic temporality. The paper first situates the nexus of “existential spatiality and formal space”. It then proceeds to the role of the various types of spatiality in existential analytic. There are certain parallels with Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of bodily experience. Finally, the scope of existential spatiality is delineated.

Man’s free will is one of the important issues dealt with by two philosophers: Sadr-ol-Mote'allehin, founder of “transcendent theosophy”, and Jaspers, an atheistic existentialist philosopher. To compare the ideas of these two philosophers, regarding the differences between the basics elements of their thoughts, a cautious approach is necessary. Included among the issues which bring Jasper’s philosophy close to that of Sadra are Jaspers' attention to Man and his emphasis on “soul” or “existence” as the essential part of human being, an element of which is the individual's free will, the definition of “free will”, “will”, and “freedom”, his viewpoint on a free human being and the relation between "free will "and “transcendence”. Offering the most primary views of the two philosophers on the complicated subject of Man’s free will, the present article is to point out the similarities and differences between the two philosophical traditions and make comments on the mentioned philosopher's way of thinking.

One of the most important things you have to consider while translating is to look for correct equivalents. The importance gems from the connection that should be taken into account between new concepts and the cultural heritage of the target language. In order to choose equivalents correctly one should take in mind a number of points; specially one should notice the relation between terms and everyday usages of the same word. This paper is aimed to base a relevant methodology and, to make the steps clear, gives an example of how an equivalent for the German word ‘Dasein’ could be found as well as referring to its usage in Heidegger’s thinking
