Abstract

This paper reviews and evaluates the Heidegger's lecture course titled ‘identity and difference’ about Hegel's philosophy. This study has attempted to explain Heidegger's understanding of the basic components of Hegel's thoughts concerning ‘the problem of identity and difference’ ‘a principle of thought’ and ‘the onto-theo-logical constitution of Metaphysics’ and the relation between modern metaphysics and nihilism at the result of that. According to Heidegger, Hegel's metaphysics is onto-theo-logic and his principle of thought absolutely appears as absolute idea. And also the modern nihilism is raised as the consequence of this thinking about metaphysics. But Heidegger attempts to resolve the problem of identity and difference by a thought which called ereignis. At the end I conclude that Heidegger pattern for the problem of identity and difference cannot completely resolve all contradictions. However, his thinking about the emergence of  ‘full and pure Being’ can promised new landscape in which Being appear in its unconditional form and it is the only way to save us from the concealment of locus of the sacred.
