The philosophy of daseinsanalysis is centered on the thought that the human Dasein (Human existence) is open to any and all experience, and that the phenomenological world is experienced freely in an undistorted way. This way initially being absent from meaning, is the basis for analysis.

For example, Naïve Realism would deny the existence of sounds beyond the range of human hearing and the existence of x ...
