论海德格尔对“本质”与“实存”概念的区分与阐释
On Heidegger’s Distinction and Interpretation of the Concepts of “Essential” and “Existential”

在传统西方形而上学中，本质(essential)与实存(existential)是两个核心概念，二者分别牵涉事物之“是什么”以及“存在与否”的问题。而海德格尔真正切入到本质和实存的区分则是通过“有限存在者”，亦即“被创造的存在者”之角度。从有限存在者的视角出发，我们可以更加明显地看到本质与实存之间的动态关系，借以理解海德格尔所谓“存在的本质”，并以此窥探海德格尔有限的“此在”与存在本质的无限性思想之一二，感受其存在哲学思考的超越性所在。
In traditional Western metaphysics, Essential and existential are two core concepts, which respectively involve the question of “what is” and “whether something exists or not”. However, Heidegger really cut into the distinction between Essential and existential through the perspective of “the finite being”, that is, “the created being”. From the perspective of a finite being, we can more clearly see the dynamic relationship between essential and existential, so as to understand Heidegger’s so-called “essence of being”, explore Heidegger’s finite “Dasein” and the infinity of the essence of being, and feel the transcendence of his existential philosophical thinking.
