Thrownness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠that we are inescapably caught up in a world that precedes and conditions (often determines) the possibilities of our interactions within and to it.

Thrownness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠that Human Dasein is thrown into a world that it never chose (this would later serve as one of the key ideas of the existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus).

Thrownness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠term referring to the fact that a mood tells us how things are going, and indicates that we are always “thrown” into a situation to which we must respond.

Thrownness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠identified predominantly, although not exclusively, as the manner in which Dasein collects up its past (finding itself in relation to the pre-structured field of intelligibility into which it has been enculturated).

Thrownness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not of our own making, and we can never get it into our grip; it is a basis that we must take over and can never produce.
