1. Existentiell

   In English translations, the word rendered "existentiell" was, with the philosophical meaning discussed in this article, first used by Martin Heidegger. In the work Being and Time, the word existentiell is used to describe an ontic understanding of beings in the world. An existentiell understanding addresses the facts about things in the context of the world, in terms of their existence, but differs from the ontological understanding that however vague is a necessary precondition for ontic understanding. The latter is reached by going about our daily business, interacting with things in the world, whereas existential understanding is theoretical and ontological in character. Heidegger claims that his examination of Dasein is an existential analysis. However, this is not to disparage existentiell understanding--Heidegger argues that any authentic potentialities of Dasein brought out in the existential analysis must be realized in existentiell understanding; i.e. it is the role of the existential analysis to function as a hermeneutic, to explicitly question Being and to interpret its structure, but Da-sein is not acting authentically until those interpretations are realized in Da-sein's ontic life. Further, it is impossible to draw an absolute categorical line between the two, in the sense that existential analysis is itself one of da-sein's possible ways of being, it cannot be simply extracted from and opposed to everyday life. It arises or is chosen just as any of da-sein's other existentiell activities are. Existial analysis is, therefore, existentiell, but in a unique sense, qualitatively distinct from non-theoretical, non-phenomenological behavior. On the other hand, da-sein's "everydayness," or existentiell living, always already discloses an understanding of its existential structures as a condition of its very being and acting.
