I want to proceed with Heidegger’s preliminary sketch of how to interpret Dasein as a being-in-the-world. Firstly, I want to explain just what Heidegger means by being-in-the-world, secondly, I want to explain what he means by world. Finally, I will turn to Heidegger’s tool-analysis as one of the first core concepts of how  Heidegger explains Dasein in Being and Time. If we are to understand what it is to be human, then we need to understand that there is something essential about our tool use as we navigate the world.
