"Non-Being" in Heidegger's Thought and Chinese Philosophy
Abstract
The analysis of the issue of "Non-Being" in the philosophy of Heidegger, and the position he considers for "Non-Being" in achieving the reality of Being and discloseness, has a great importance in the history of western philosophy. Heidegger puts forward this issue in a variety of places, including the explanation of Dasein and the Existence in ontological relations. He demonstrates Dasein in a course toward "Non-Being" and in the state of anxiety. From the other hand, the concept of "Non-Being" in Chinese schools of philosophy is considered to be among original and leading concepts. In Chinese thinking, intertwining of being and Non Being is deemed to be an effective factor for understanding the unity and coherence among forces and phenomena. The main issue in this inquiry is clarifying the characteristic of Non Being and its function in the interaction of "Being" and "Non Being" in Heideggarian view and Daoism.
