All determination is surpassing, and Dasein directs it toward itself

Evidence

But human reality can make being appear as organized totality in the world only by surpassing being. All determination for Heidegger is surpassing since it supposes a withdrawal taken from a particular point of view. This passing beyond the world, which is a condition of the very rising up of the world as such, is effected by the Dasein which directs the surpassing toward itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 213
