peter, i think you are correct in your suggestions re translation of
daseinsverfehlung.

guido sprenger's translation is somewhat simplicistic but maybe it points to
the "literallness" of some of tietchens' constructions of meanings. he
pointed this out in the footnote of his essay some pages before dv popps up.

however missing existence is a bit off the mark.
thanks for bringing this up.


hey; we can now discuss all of this in the tietchens list :-)
