Heidegger meant by the forgetting of Being

Heidegger's concept: Being = 1/Being

Heidegger's critique is rooted in the idea that by concentrating on beings, Western metaphysics overlooks the essential question of what it means to be. He sought to redirect philosophical inquiry towards the nature of Being itself.

Remember this

Heidegger's ideas challenge the foundational assumptions of Western philosophy, prompting a reevaluation of its priorities and methods.
