Summary/Abstract: In this paper I analyze Martin Heidegger concept of existence authenticity(Eigentlichkeit)and inauthenticity (Uneigentlichkeit). I attempt to prove that thesetwo modi of being simultaneoulsy constitute an existence and that neither of themcan be independent and separate from the second. Consequently, our existencecan’t be ‘purely’ authentic or inauthentic but ontological it is always authentic andinauthentic simultaneously. To prove that this reading doesn’t lead to a contradiction,I inscribe these analyzed ways of being in a figure of circle.
