Abstract

The essay analyses the complex interlacement between daily life and decision in Heidegger's thought moving from the way in which the issue of life and of choices is articulated in his courses of the '20s. The Author reads "Being and Time" (1927), where the issue of resoluteness is developed, in order to show how the notions of quotidianity and decision changes in front of the question of death. Finally, it is discussed what changes once the pattern of decision introduced with the Dasein, with its individuality, invests the dimension of the German people in 1933 "Rektorasrede".
