of this movie and the Existential movement in 19th and 20th century Philosophy. I do list and describe a few scenes and quotes‚ so i’ll throw on a SPOILER alert just in case. One of the most prominent concepts in I (Heart) Huckabees is that of Martin Heidegger’s Dasein. Dasein‚ literally meaning "Being-there"‚ is Heidegger’s method in which he applies another prominant Existential philospher‚ Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology to human beings themselves.
