Geary writes, "Every human being is contaminated with some crackerbarrel Weltanschauung. That's what Dasein is all about." That seems unnecessarily harsh. Here is Julian Young putting the matter into terms Heidegger would probably be willing to accept: "Heidegger's view of the relation between tradition and the self is deeply influenced by Hegel's 'communitarian' understanding of the relation between identity and morality in the sense of 'custom' or Sittlichkeit. It is interesting to observe an almost perfect agreement between Heidegger and the British Hegelian, F. H. Bradley: 'the child . . . is born . . . into a living world . . . He does not even think of his separate self; he grows with his world, his mind fills and orders itself; and when he can separate himself from that world, and know himself apart from it, then by that time his self, the object of his self consciousness, is penetrated, infected, characterized by the existence of others. Its content implies, in every fibre, relations of community. He learns, or already perhaps has learnt, to speak, and here he appropriates the common heritage of his race, the tongue that he makes his own is his country's language, it is . . . the same the others speak, and it carries into his mind the ideas and sentiments of the race . . . and stamps them indelibly. He grows up in an atmosphere of example and general custom . . . The soul within him is saturated, is filled, is qualified by, it has assimilated, has got its substance, has built itself up from, it is one and the same life with the universal life, and if he turns against this he turns against himself."
