Dasein is a term often used by Martin Heidegger. In plain English it can be translated as ‘being-there’, and Heidegger was interested in what this term actually means. “If Being is predicated in manifold meanings, then what is its leading fundamental meaning? What does Being mean? (Heidegger, 1963) Thus Heidegger actually suggest that there are many kinds of Being. This study of the Being of the human individual, the human being, he called Dasein. He was interested in the human beings own sense of ‘Being’ in the world. (Cloke, Philo, Sadler 1991) According to Heidegger Dasein responds to the past, in the context of the present, for the sake of the future.
