'''''' ( ; ) is a term in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Adopted from the ordinary German word meaning 'existence', Heidegger used it to refer to the mode of being that he believed is particular to human beings, who are aware of and must confront such issues as personhood, mortality, and the dilemma or paradox of living in relationship with other humans while being ultimately alone with oneself.

== Meaning == In German, Dasein is the vernacular term for "existence". It is derived from da-sein, which literally means "being-there" or "there-being". In a philosophical context, it was first used by Leibniz and Wolff in the 17th century, as well as by Kant and Hegel in the 18th and 19th; however, Heidegger's later association of the word with human existence was uncommon and not of special philosophical significance during this period.
