Heidegger’s Phenomenological Interpretations of Aristotle has been the most enjoyable and complex study for me; this book is truly excellent.

Life as care (Sorgen) lives in a world and cares for itself in the most diverse modes of corresponding relations and enactments, and in the modes of temporalization, in accordance with the objects encountered in experience and with the encounters themselves. The object of care is not significance as a categorial character, but rather the ever-worldly, which finds its corresponding objective expression, formulated by life itself. Significance as such is not expressly experienced; yet it can be experienced. The “can” has its own specific categorial sense; the transition from expressivity to inexpressivity is “categorial” in an eminent sense (interpretation of categories!). But significance becomes explicit in life’s own (eigene) interpretation of itself, and only from there can one fully understand what it “is” and means to live factically “in” significance. An abbreviated formulation: “to live in significance” means to live in and from objects within the categorial character of the content of the significant.

In caring, life at each moment experiences its world, and this fundamental sense of experienced being provides in advance the sense, according to its full meaning, for every interpretation of objectuality — even and including the logical-formal (interpretation).

[The mobility of factical life can be interpreted, preliminarily described, as unrest (Unruhe). The how of this unrest, as a full phenomenon, determines facticity. Regarding life and unrest, cf. Pascal, Pensées I–VII; the description is valid, but not the theory and its fore-conception (Vorhabe); above all: soul–body, le Voyage éternel, thus not accessible to existential philosophy. The clarification of unrest, unrest clarified; un-rest and problematicity (Fraglichkeit); powers of temporalization; unrest and the toward-what. The unsettling aspect of unrest. The non-emphasized, undecided between of the aspect of factical life: between surrounding world (Um), shared world (Mit), own world (Selbst), prior (Vor), and posterior (Nach); something positive. The seeping-through (Durchsickern) everywhere of unrest, its figures and masks. Rest (Ruhe) — unrest; phenomenon and movement (cf. the phenomenon of movement in Aristotle).]
