Thoughts on Existence - Early Heidegger and Lao Siguang Thought Research

This book delves into the timeless themes of self, existence, and death, which have captivated Chinese and Western philosophers for over two millennia, serving as focal points for Heidegger and Lao Siguang in their early philosophical works. Divided into two parts, the first part delves into Heidegger's early concepts, such as "Dasein" in "Being and Time", the untitled preface, the origins of philosophy, and the translation and study of Heidegger's philosophy in the Chinese context. The second part compares Lao Siguang and Heidegger, examining human finiteness, self-worth, attitudes toward death, and more, offering readers a deeper insight into these 20th-century philosophers.
