Taking those 3 meanings jointly, an Awsagl' should be characterised as "communicating and picking out, making show up. " yet ho\\ then is it additionally a style of interpretationt The making-manifest that occurs in and during an Aussage, is feasible purely at the foundation of what's already disclosed to realizing. it isn't an international much less, transcendental ego who plays an AlIs. l(lge. it is vitally a Dllseil! who's a being-in-the-world and as such all,'ars has a undeniable pre-understanding of the area, wbo makes a judgment. The existential fore-structures of figuring out, which jointly represent its anticipatory constitution, shape the horizon during which al1\ judgment is feasible.
