I am not the person who initially referred to Taoism in relation to
Heidegger, but I do definitely see some affinities. Please explain to
me what you mean by the word `confrontations' above.
Also, there is a good book out, _Heidegger and Asian Thought_, which
deals, in some of the essays, with this subject. If you would like, I
will supply the publisher, etc. info for you.
I think there is good reason to compare Being to the Tao. Each is the
ground of beings, neither a being. Of course, this is not the full
extent of the similarities that I see, but I must close for now.
I would like to hear whether anyone else sees/ does not see the
similarities between Heidegger and Taoism.
