The term Being is intimately linked to the term Dasein. Both concepts are part of the philosophy of Heidegger. Being[1], the fact that something is in reality, can be unlocked with the help of an entity called 'Dasein'. This entity is the human being itself, which "possesses, in the depths of its own sense of 'being-in-the-world', the conceptual materials through which it is possible to glimpse the universal truth of Being and also the more specific truths attached to Being of particular non-Dasein (or non-human) entities" (Cloke et al., 1999, p. 80).
