This paper attempts to examine Heidegger's mystical question of Being in order to investigate the religious aspects of Heidegger's thought, as well as their sources, endeavoring to make a comparison between these and the views on God held by Master Eckhart, a proponent of mysticism in the Middle Ages. Master Eckhart equates God with Being and Nothingness. This seemingly paradoxical proposition that God is both Being and Nothingness in fact expresses an insight, namely, that God cannot be placed on par with anything and cannot be hypostatized or reified. We can only experience God in a state of disembodiment. Heidegger also equated Being and Nothingness before, and his description of Being as Nothingness aligns completely with Eckhart's assertion that God is both Being and Nothingness. It is evident that Heidegger simply approaches his “God” through the indirect path of Being. In fact, what his ontological difference between Being and beings really expresses is the absolute distinction between God and His creations. Heidegger's fundamental ontology is really suffused with theological ideas; his mystification of Being can only be made appropriately clear through his mystical vision of God. |
