Being and Existence in Şadra and Heidegger a Comparative Ontology Kısa Özet
Ontological concepts –from the branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature of being- occupy a central position in philosophy. This is primarily because human beings are interested in understanding the natüre of existence, the question of why there is *something* rather than *nothing*, of enquiring into the meaning of existence and so forth. ?adr al-Din al-Shirazi (d. 1661), known as ?adra or Mulla ?adra, developed a new philosophical system based totally upon the concept of existence (wujud). The same attempt was made by the German Philosopher Martin Heidegger (d. 1976).
This book is a fascinating comparative case study of both philosophers and demonstrates how, from the Islâmic and the Western traditions, they both base their philosophy on the concept of existence. -
