Existentialist Concept of Nothingness in Philosophy: A Review or An Analysis of Sartre’s Critique of Heidegger

Abstract

The concept of nothingness refers to the absence of being or existence, and its significance has been debated by many prominent philosophers over time. However, this article explores the existential concept of nothingness, which has been a recurring theme throughout the history of modern philosophy as well, in the context of ideas of two great philosophers, that is to say, through a review and analysis of Jean-Paul Sartre's critique on Martin Heidegger; because the concept of nothingness is also fundamental to both philosophers' understanding of being, with Heidegger viewing it as a fundamental aspect of being-in-the-world and Sartre emphasizing its role in human consciousness and intentionality; hence, it will be discussed, in this article, their similar and differing perspectives on the meaning and implications of nothingness, including especially Sartre’s critiques of Heidegger's ideas. Ultimately, the article tries to shows that a nuanced understanding of the concept of nothingness is essential for grappling with the fundamental questions of existence/being and human experience and in addition a deep understanding of the concept of nothingness is necessary for comprehending the fundamental questions of philosophy, such as the meaning of life, existence, and reality.
