Heidegger considers that the meaning of being is the fundamental problem.And the problem has been covered since the origination of traditional metaphysics.Therefore,in his early period,Heidegger decided to reconsider the problem of Being,which has been neglected even forgotten by people.And he wanted to highlight his new method of explaining the problem of Being,which was quite different from the traditional metaphysical way based on ontology.Starting from the original temporality(Zeitlichkeit),Heidegger aimed at establishing the existential structure of the special Dasein's history which in his view can reveal the meaning of Being.He asked how Dasein can exist and started the Dasein's historical construction by the method of practical hermeneutic.The construction depicted that Dasein can understand its various possibilities of existence and create its own historicity through its existential activities.According to Heidegger's explanation,Dasein is the existence thrown into the world.Dasein who first arrives in the future time inherited its own historical possibilities once existed.It understands,plans(Entwurf)and carries out its own historical activities by experiencing death first.Temporality(Zeitlichkeit)is the foundation of Dasein's existential activities.Begin with the temporality(Zeitlichkeit),the historicity of Dasein was established beforehand.With the help of the call of inner conscience,Dasein surpassed the inauthenticity(Uneigentlichkeit)belonging to das Man who lives in average states.And it carried its historical activities out on the basis of its authentic possibilities.Thus,in this way,Dasein created its history and realized its destiny.But these vivid depictions are just Heidegger's understanding of Dasein's existential possibilities from a hermeneutic view.According to Heidegger's understanding of the practical hermeneutic,the history of Dasein was formed in the way of existential planning.However,thethought of historicity in the hermeneutic framework does have some problems.Heidegger established the authenticity of Dasein while insisted that it would be inauthentic when it comes to das Man.However,is it possible that there exists such a diametrically opposed circumstance where Dasein is authentic while das Man is inauthentic? Heidegger used a new hermeneutics to elaborate Dasein's existential possibilities and established Dasein's historicity.As far as Dasein is concerned,the practical hermeneutics is merely an explanation frame for explaining the existential possibilities of Dasein.In addition,such a new hermeneutics also has serious defects.Based on combining Heidegger's philosophical work with researches on Heidegger's thoughts made by scholars abroad and inside,this article comprehensively analyzed how early Heidegger established the historical construction of Dasein in an existential sense,which also formed the theoretical basepoint on which we can stand to reveal the dilemma of Dasein's historicity.Reflecting and re-thinking the connotation of Dasein,we are expected to seek some possible solutions to the dilemma of the Heidegger's early thought of Dasein's historicity with the help of historical materialism philosophy.
