Heidegger Circle

Heidegger's "Circle" refers to a philosophical idea that when exploring complex concepts like understanding or truth, our grasp of the whole influences how we understand its parts, and vice versa. Think of it as a loop: to understand a part, we rely on our sense of the whole, while to understand the whole, we need to understand its parts. This ongoing interplay suggests that complete understanding is never fully achieved but is always developing. Heidegger used this idea to show that our pursuit of meaning is dynamic and rooted in our ongoing engagement with the world.
