Being is traditionally one of the basic and most complex philosophical concepts of Existence as such. It is from him that the great sages of the past begin their reflections, and the philosophers of our time argue about him. Being is life
of a person in the Universe or the whole great Cosmos from which each of us came and where we all will go in due time? An incredible mystery and an eternal question that haunts people. In an attempt to find answers, to create a complete and true picture of human Existence, an incredible number of interpretations of the concept have come into being. The main terms in the current text are capitalized for a reason. They are not the usual designation of things, but are designed to emphasize their scale and depth.
Sciences such as metaphysics and ontology, theology, cosmology and philosophy of anthropology have been trying to consider the main aspects more fully for hundreds of years. Each of them considers the types of Being as part of the universal space and mind. Thus, theology is a branch of knowledge devoted to divine existence. Metaphysics speaks of the beginnings, the ultra-subtle, super-sensitive principles of this human phenomenon. It was Aristotle who called it “primary philosophy”, and often these two concepts are considered as interconnected, and, at times, completely identical. Cosmology has chosen the Essence of the world as the subject of its study. Space, like the whole world, is the realm of knowledge. Ontology considers everything Existing. The dialectic of Being, proposed by Hegel, sees it as a continuous chain of events, thoughts, unceasing movement and development. However, this view is often criticized.
Certainly, such a number of philosophical currents led to the natural emergence of such concepts as “kinds of Being”. What forms can it take? Despite the differences in interpretation, Genesis is only the material and spiritual part of our world. It is this belonging to one or another area of Existence that has received the name of objective and subjective reality.
The material part includes everything that exists regardless of the will and desire of Man. It is self-sufficient and independent. At the same time, not only objects of nature, but also phenomena of social life are included in objective reality. Spiritual being is a more subtle structure. Thoughts and desires, thoughts, reflections - all this is part of the subjective reality of the Universal Being.
As white cannot exist without black, so Being loses its meaning without its opposite. This antipode is called a certain "Nothing".
Non-existence - this is how the counterweight to Existence is often called. most interesting andAn inexplicable feature of Nothing is that in the absolute understanding of the Universe, it simply cannot be. Despite some absurdity of such a statement, it has a place in philosophy.
A person himself, after his death, goes into this Nothing, but his creations, descendants and thoughts remain in this world, and become part of the reality in which the next generations continue to live. Such "overflow" allows us to say that Being is infinite, and Nothing is conditional.
