==Being in continental philosophy and existentialism==

==Being in continental philosophy and existentialism==

Some philosophers deny that the concept of "being" has any [[meaning]] at all, since we only define an object's [[existence]] by its relation to other objects, and actions it undertakes. The term "[[I am]]" has no meaning by itself; it must have an action or relation appended to it. This in turn has led to the thought that "being" and [[nothing]]ness are closely related, developed in [[existential]] philosophy.

*"It depends not on [[consciousness]], but on ''being''; not on thought, but on ''life''; it depends on the individual's empirical development and manifestation of life, which in turn depends on the conditions existing in the world." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx Karl Marx], ''Individuality in Thought and Desire''

*Each [[human being]] while living [[life]] has moments of [[revelation]] in which the very fact of being feels [[intensely]] [[personal]] and intensely [[impersonal]] at once, when life seems a [[miracle]] and the [[knowledge]] of your own being and presence in this [[universe]] seems to be unfathomable. That is a little [[glimpse]] of how your [[indwelling spirit]] sees you. If you could see yourself through his eyes, you would witness the most wondrous, miraculous being conceivable, the fact that God can be [[personality]] and create personality as if it were billions of tiny mirrors expressing a slightly different side of his personality. Your personality is whole and yet it is a part of the Father's [[infinite]] personality. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-11-25-Being#Lesson Ham]
