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.

The Priority of the practical approach toward the world to theoretical approach is one of the most fundamental components of Heidegger’s “Being and Time”. In fact, Heidegger believes that the first disclosure of Dasein to the world is based on practice rather than speculation and even Dasein is the same practice. Thus, according to Heidegger, the theory is only a derivative form of Praxis. Heidegger doesn’t refer to “Aristotle’s Phronesis” explicitly in “BT”. However, we can find the implicit presence of this concept all over the book to the extent that researchers like Volpi consider “BT” as a translation of Aristotle’s “Nichomachean Ethics”. I Will try, in this article, to present four tacit presences of Phronesis in “Being and Time” and to show that these four presences have founded on KAIROS that Heidegger emphasizes on it especially in the “Phenomenology of Religious Life” Lecture course.
