3. Transposition of
meaning
As we take the pen or pencil in our
hand, you can only sense the pen
or the pencil in between our
fingers.
But, as soon as we start using it,
something mysterious happens.
The main effect of such
transposition is the creation of a
new way of doing something in the
world

5. I want to cycle in the dark (goal)
A bike light is what I need (means)
A bike light is designed to serve the purpose
of cycling in the dark

I am just implementing a course of action
determined beforehand
36. Ends are not given, but they become

come across in due course
We like getting surprised
We don’t plan, we tinker with whatever
comes in handy in the form of chance
events
What we do is inseparable from us, our
being-in-the-world
It’s an exploratory, individuating, and
path-creating process
