In a number of his writings Freud states that women have a less highly developed superego than men. In the Lecture on “Femininity” he says that women’s superego “cannot attain the strength and independence which gives it its cultural significance”, and in “The Psychical Consequences of the Anatomical Distinction Between the Sexes” that “for women the level of what is ethically normal is different from what it is for men. Their super-ego is never so impersonal, so inexorable, so independent of its emotional origin as we require it to be for men.”
(First Paragraph)

In Being and Time Heidegger describes his philosophizing as phenomenological. And yet, in striking contrast to Husserl, Heidegger;s work is not concerned with consciousness. What enabled Heidegger to consider his thought as phenomenology while displacing the emphasis on consciousness is favour of the question of the meaning of Being? I want to trace an answer to these questions by examining the point at which they arise from the intersection of the three others.
