This is not to say that the analysis needs to become historiographic. 13 In fact, the existential-ontological interpretation of History must be grasped in spite of and almost against the way Dasein’s historical happening is ordinarily interpreted. Why does Dasein’s ordinary historical selfinterpretation serve to cover up its fundamental historicity? If Dasein’s historicity is rooted in the meaning of care as ecstatic temporality (as the temporalizing of temporality) as established in section 65, then how is it that by “History” Dasein usually understands something that belongs to the past?
It was applied to the hand that was usually the weaker, as opposed to the right: from AS. riht, reht, straight, just; cognate with L. rectus; cp royal. royal. The L. words for king, rex, regis, and kingly, regalis, came in OFr. to be roi and roial. From this through the Normans came Eng. royal and royalty… Directly from L. the same words were adopted in Eng. Thus we have regal; regent, present participle of the verb regere, regens, regent-, regi, rectum, to rule, to make straight—since what the king did was right—and a right line was a straight one: as in right angle— we have Eng.
This is how we designate the historical happening of a community [Gemeinschaft], of a people [or a nation: Volk]. Destiny is not something that puts itself together out of individual fates, any more than being-with-one-another can be conceived as the occurring together of several subjects. Our fates have already been guided in advance, in our being-withone-another in the same world and in our resoluteness for definite possibilities. Only in communication [Mitteilung] and in struggle [Kampf] does the power [Macht] of destiny become free.
