Summary
The anyone refers to an understanding or set of understandings of how we ought to think, value, and act. It is rooted in the society to which we belong though not specifically attributable to any particular members of that society; and it “dominates” our actions in our inauthentic everydayness (SZ 126). The anyone is “the ‘Realest subject’ of everydayness” – “the agency through which most things come about” – while Dasein “stands in subjection”; Dasein remains, of course, active here – indeed “busying [it]self head over heels”; but “Dasein is not itself” (SZ 128, 127, 126, 345, 317). The anyone “prescribes the kind of being of everydayness,” “reliev[ing] Dasein of its choice, its formation of judgments, and its estimation of values”; it “determines how and what one ‘sees’” and “governs every interpretation of the world and of Dasein” (SZ 126, 170; GA20:340).
