  "This means 'that all temporality points beyond itself' (Hart 1973, 32)."

• [1927], 2000 Martin Heidegger Being and Timehttp://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&id=9oc2BnZMCZgC&pg=PA302&lpg=PA302&dq=temporality&prev=http://books.google.com/books%3Fq%3Dtemporality&sig=_AHDrBvcln9-ZTvV9JKNgDGazRY

  Temporality makes possible the unity of existence, facticity, and falling prey and thus constitutes primordially the totallity of the structure of care.

  Temporality "is" not a being at all. It is not, but rather temporalizes itself. Nevertheless, we still cannot avoid saying that "temporality 'is' the meaning of care," "temporality 'is' determined thus and so."
