Vorhandenheit (prepresence, on-handness, presence at hand) — First used terminologically to describe the “already there in advance” in which the around-world is disclosed, and so not yet distinguished from the “handy” (GA63:97; also November 1924). In fact, so unresolved is this term in November 1924 that even the facticity of the “I am,” its “that it is,” is described in terms of its “being on hand.” The more subtle analysis in SS 1925 (GA20) of the levels of immediate presence first yields the clear distinction in modes of encounter and disclosedness between the handy (Zuhandenes) and the on-hand things (Vorhandenes) against the background presence of the environing world.
