Taoism of Zhuangzi and Ontology of Heidegger——From the Perspective of Etymology

Taoism of Zhuangzi contains various connotations,such as ways,saying,being and nothing,among which nothing reveals the creativity and opening of philosophy.Heidegger,the famous German philosopher in the 20th century,also drew the same conclusion that ontology means saying,nature,ways and forbearing.There are similarities between truth in Taoism of ZhuangZi and Aletheia of Heidegger,both of whom are discussed on the basis of being.Being is not only the status of the Taoism,but also the circumstances for human beings to live in.The probation into Taoism and ontology will shed lights on understanding both Chinese and the western philosophies thoroughly.
