===== LOVITT: Sicherheit - CERTAINTY =====
Sicherheit (certainty, security, trustworthiness, safeguard) very closely parallels Gewissheit (certainty, sureness, certitude, firmness), although in it the connotation of making secure is present in a way [[termos:n:not:start|Not]] found in Gewissheit. This nuance, resident heretofore in Heidegger's discussion in the verb sichern (to make secure, to guarantee, to make safe), is now, with this use of Sicherheit — in conjunction with sich versichern (to assure oneself, to attain certainty, to insure one's life, to arrest (someone)) and Versicherung (insurance, assurance, guarantee) — brought forward into the pivotal position it maintains in the discussion immediately following.
