Metaphysics: is a theory that has the claim to ask questions and provide answers beyond our available knowledge. It is objected that even for asking questions, a knowledge of the meanings of the words used is required. This knowledge is not given when experiences or at least theories using these terms are not available. See also essentialism, metaphysical possibility.

Martin Heidegger on Metaphysics - Dictionary of Arguments

Tugendhat II 25
Being/Heidegger: HeideggerVsMetaphysics: has localized the being in the being.

Gadamer I 262
HeideggerVsMetaphysics: The questioning that turns towards this fundamental, that it is that, is itself a questioning after Being, but in a direction that necessarily remained unthought in all previous questioning after the Being of Being, indeed, that was precisely concealed and hidden by the question after Being posed by metaphysics.
Heidegger/Gadamer: By showing the question about being at the same time as the question about nothingness, Heidegger has linked beginning and end of metaphysics. That the question about being could arise from the question about nothingness presupposed the thinking of nothingness, at which metaphysics fails.

Metaphysics/Heidegger: 1928 still a positive concept.
Figal I 165
Metaphysics/Heidegger: Christianity and nihilism do not differ in their orientation to God. Metaphysics interprets the presence into the absence. Nietzsche's death of God brings the West into the situation of being able to put an end to metaphysics.

Cardorff II 84
HeideggerVsMetaphysics: "because not asking for being".
Cardorff II 86
Metaphysics/Heidegger: all attempts, being as remaining, always-equality, availability, presence, i.e. thinking as an independent presence, belong to metaphysics for Heidegger. Likewise, eternal recurrence of the same, Hegel's absolute mind, etc.
>God, >F. Nietzsche, >Nihilism, >Christianity, >Being/Heidegger.
