Notes:
* M&R reverse the grammar of “encounter” vis à vis Heidegger's German. Where Heidegger writes “das Seiende begegnt dem Dasein,” “the entity encounters Dasein,” M&R write “Dasein encounters the entity.”
† I am experimenting these days with using Latin words to translate Heidegger's latinate German words when there is a problem distinguishing the otherwise preferable English translation. In this case, Heidegger's "Faktum" and "Tatsache" both suggest the English "fact." Some translators use captalization in this case, but in general I don't like to use capitalization to distinguish translations.
‡ I will underline leading letters of capitalized words when the capitalization is used to distinguish the word from a lower-case complementary translation. So, "Fact" and "fact."
