The Meaning of Understanding | Heidegger - Being and Time

Welcome to ’Back to the Texts Themselves,’ a series on phenomenology. Today I examine Chapter 5, sections 31 to 32 of Martin Heidegger’s Being & Time. In this video, I address the following questions: 1) What does it mean to understand in the mode of projection? 2) How does the fore-structure make meaning possible? 3) Is Heidegger’s conception of interpretation a form of circular reasoning?
