To add to what has already been said, I think (in my unexpert opinion and having only studied "Being and Time" in group) that the way in which Heidegger touched popular culture the most (and I am not talking about his naziism...I am talking about how he touched popular culture in an enduring way) is through the notion of "authenticity"...that each person should make a project of his/her life free as possible from the tyranny of the "they", Das Man.

CB: This seems a type of individualism. How is this original with Heidegger ?
