This paper offers a systematic overview of the aspects of Heidegger’s Being and Time that are concerned with the understanding of human sociality. Three dimensions of Heidegger’s analysis are distinguished: self-being, caring-with and being-with-one-another. These dimensions can be enacted in different modalities on the spectrum of unownedness and ownedness. To keep matters simple, the author focuses on the unowned and owned extremes, distinguishing anyone-self and owned self, leaping in and leaping ahead solicitude, as well as the anyone and a people. His discussion of these key terms of the analysis in Being and Time focuses on investigating Kierkegaard’s role in the development of Heidegger’s thought.
