Notes

¹Although Heidegger (1927) insists that “the self is conceived ‘only’ as a way of Being of this entity [Dasein, the human being]” (p. 153) and that “Dasein's Selfhood has been defined formally as a way of existing, therefore not as an entity” (p. 312), in certain contexts he, like Kohut, nevertheless seems to speak of the self as if it were in fact an entity, as when the self is “appealed to” and “summoned” to authenticity.
