Heidegger (abbrev to H) by Harrison Hall p125 126 From Cambridge Companion to H These comments by MLD See Line 1 (SL1-4):

Note the desire to get behind the world of appearance and try and discover the world that lies behind the world. Note that H already assumes that our philosophical and other assumptions are in fact in place in our thinking. How does he know that this is the case? How does he know that we dont in fact just see things as they are? Is this continental awareness of the role of mind? Certainly Husserl, strongly Cartesian, would have made an impact on H. (SL4,5): Husserl believed that if you sat somewhere and entered deep contemplation, it should be possible for you to put the world around you on hold as it were, or in some way remove it from your experience at that time. He spoke of bracketing you put all your conscious awareness of your immediate surroundings, sensations and even perceptions into brackets and you bracket them out of your cognitive reckoning and as you do so, your Cartesian Ego (i.e. the real you) will begin to experience an awareness of awareness! You will begin to realise what the fundamental essence of existence is all about. He called this eidetic reduction. Trying to get at the real nature of things around you is known as Phenomenology (different to phenomenalism which is about perception). (SL6-10): Husserl assumes that there is an I an Ego he is Cartesian. And he has priorities of meaning because he assumes that the I has to make sense of the world in which the I is immersed. That is why I need to bracket out all the common perceptual clutter, and get down to the core Self. But H does not start with an I. He starts with Dasein and this entity is connected deeply with the world around it, in fact it is interconnected. So H reverses Husserl. We start with the world as it is. There is no need to do an eidetic reduction.
