Abstract
The analysis of the issue of "Non Being" in the philosophy of Heidegger particularly in his later works, and the position he considers for "Non Being" in achieving the reality of Being and discloseness, is of great importance in the history of western philosophy. Heidegger puts forward this issue in a variety of places, including the explanation of Dasein and Existence (Existenz) and in leading to ontological relations in an affirmative not negative way. He demonstrates Dasein in a course toward "Non Being" and in the state of anxiety (Angst). From the other hand, it seems that 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 (Yu) and Non Being (Wu) is deemed to be an effective factor for understanding the unity and coherence among forces and phenomena, activities and passivity and giving meaning to the actions among beings (Seinde) which is recognizable with an ontological view. The main issue in this inquiry, is clarifying the characteristic of Non Being and its function in the interaction of "Being" and "Non Being". It has also been tried to make a comparison between the non-nihilistic and non-negative concept of "Non eing" in Chinese philosophy particularly Daoism and Zen Buddhism and Heidegger's thought, and while studying such concepts like "Reality and Openness", "Way" and "Releasement from thinking", the approach toward "Being" would be probed.
