-===== MAGDA KING: Sinn / SENTIDO =====+===== Sinn / SENTIDO =====
 Heidegger’s special use of the term “meaning” (Sinn) Was pointed out already in our introductory remarks. Our present difficulty thus seems to be purely terminological and should be capable of an easy solution: we must simply find out how Heidegger defines the word “meaning.” The matter, however, is Not quite so simple, as can be readily seen when the Definition is actually given. Meaning, in Heidegger’s sense, is that from which something is understandable as the thing it is. This definition, while perfectly correct, is for our purpose quite insufficient. Heidegger’s terminology grows from a way of phenomenological thinking, which cannot be explained merely by defining words. Phenomenology will be made the subject of one of our later studies, but in the meantime we must find a rough-and-ready way to understand Heidegger’s use of “meaning.” This can be done by a concrete illustration. Heidegger’s special use of the term “meaning” (Sinn) Was pointed out already in our introductory remarks.
