The Question

Heidegger gets at the Question of Being though Questioning as such.

The long and short of it is that human beings are the ones who question. And so human beings themselves need to be brought into question. And if course that means bringing them into question regarding their Being and of course it is their Being that makes questioning as such possible.

The key is that we must already have some idea what Being is in order to be able to question it, and so we need to start with that pre-understanding when we formulate our question of the meaning of Being.
