In philosophy the grappling of  opposing approaches , one making knowledge more tangible and intelligible , thus accessible to all, and the other mystifying knowledge and eventually creating a state of confusion –‘Knowledge exists-, Knowledge does not exists’— is a perennial problem both in Western and Oriental philosophy.  Heidegger, too, has been remained controversial for making his discourse encompassing from phenomenology to theology.  But his opposition to positivism has arbitrarily  been  picked up by many as important one and for that account he is denominated as a conceptualist. His emphasis that language is the vehicle through which question  of being can be unfolded does not make him a ‘conceptualist’ rather a mystical sceptic—if language was not there the universe would not have been there too. This is a problem in some section of orientalism also, the Vedanta Hinduism in particular, which says ‘all what you perceive or say is nothing but your ignorance—avidya’.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
