Features: This book is positioned between Heidegger and Hegel, conducting a phenomenological-exegetical comparative study of their temporal thoughts, as well as the related spatial and historical thoughts. The deconstruction of Hegel's concept of the history of philosophy, undertaken to pave the way, serves as a preparatory introduction: from experience and history to the primordial context of the emergence of the history of philosophy. The main part consists of three chapters: Hegel's "this" and Heidegger's "horizon," Hegel's "point" and Heidegger's temporality, and Hegel's "circle" and Heidegger's "ring." Finally, in the concluding and derivative postscript, the author explores the possibility of the problem of time in relation to ontology and metaphysics, and reflects on how future thought or another beginning might arrive? In this arrival, could the Chinese philosophical tradition offer some possible inspiration for future thought?
