本文涉及到对海德格尔这样一个基本观点的批判性的分析:形而上学所探讨的是作为“在场”的存在。而西方的整个的形而上学无非就是对于这个在场特权的证明。海德格尔的这一论断是建立在存在的显现和“自然”的基础上的。而本文作者则强调,在场的意义主要不是存在的显现,而是对存在的关注和理解,是理性将其带出场的。这一点在古希腊哲学中就可以找到它的依据,因此,在场从本源上看与理性有关,并由此引出作者对“什么是形而上学”这个问题的不同于海德格尔的理解和回答。 This article deals with a critical analysis of Heidegger’s fundamental view that metaphysics explores existence as “presence.” The entire Western metaphysics is nothing more than proof of the privilege present. Heidegger’s assertion is based on the presence and “nature” of existence. However, the author of this article emphasizes that the significance of the presence is not mainly the appearance of existence, but the concern and understanding of existence, which is reasoned to bring it out. This point can be found in the ancient Greek philosophy. Therefore, the presence is reasonably related to origin, and leads to the author’s understanding and answer to Heidegger’s different from “what is metaphysics”.
