From insight into the connection between hexis   and arete  , four basic aspects of being-there [Grundmomente des Daseins] result:

1. That “action,” [Handeln  ] praxis  , concern is in itself the concern [Besorgen  ] of the being-there [Dasein  ] which is concerned. In being involved in the world [Sichumtun in der Welt  ], in dealing [Umgehen] with it, in occupying oneself [Sichabgeben] with other human beings, being-there itself, which is involved in this way, is concerned with itself, with its being. Being-there as concern is care [Sorge] about itself, for the most part inexplicitly. This basic phenomenon is hidden in the concept of hexis – hexis as the having of something, the mode of being in having [Haben   Weise   des Seins], the mode of being-positioned in relation to what is had [Gestelltseins zum Gehabten].

2. In hexis, being-there will show itself more precisely in its particularity [Jeweiligkeit  ]. The being of human beings, human being as being-there is particular [jeweilige], at the moment [Augenblick  ]: hexis is a being-composed [Gefasstsein] of being-there, oriented toward the moment.

3. This being-composed, this being-oriented toward the moment, is the sort of possibility that has seized being-there itself on the basis of its particular situation  . In an average way and for the most part, being-there stays within the degrees of “more or less,” too much and too little.

4. On the basis of this three-fold basic structure, it is also evident, at the same time, that hexis is a basic determination of being-there itself, that the genesis   of this hexis, the manner and mode in which being-there itself comes to a being-composed in relation to itself, can have the opportunity and the type of its cultivation only, again, in being-there itself. Being-there must, for itself, take the opportunity to cultivate this being-composed as a possibility [Möglichkeit  ]. [GA18  :180; GA18MT:121-122]
