Dasein and inter-esse, or how event is design

I provide an insight into Being’s self-realization, emphasizing inter-esse as event as a twofold designal quality in resoluteness and a propensity toward the other. Primarily working on Henk Oosterling’s Premsela lecture, I consider Dasein as an event realized through what Oosterlink captures as the inter-esse, a realization of firstly unreflective everydayness and secondly one’s craftsmanship which fills the spaces between individuals. Being becomes self-reflexive through intersections; inter-esse’s disclosiveness is the event in dwelling. Dwelling makes possible an intersection of existence – a realization of everyday life and of encountering both the human and nonhuman other – that fundamentally equates Dasein with design. This I argue creates a pivotal perspective to consider how shared reality is fundamentally a shaping of one’s existence in the world, how existence is a designing of the world. Space constitutes the event for which Being discloses itself, that Dasein re-understands itself through this designal quality.
