Heidegger's work "Being and Time" represents the philosophic movement
away from 19th century phenomenology to what Sartre will later term
existentialism.
Its been a few years since I read it, but if my memory serves me well,
"forgetting of being" is a criticism of Plato. Although Heidegger did
not really understand Plato, its difficult to accept his criticism. It
also should be noted that he later repudiated "Being and Time" and
joined the Nazi party. If you are truly interested in this concept may
I suggest Sartre's "Being and Nothingness". Really a pivotal book as
Western philosophy merges with eastern.
The term "forgetting about being" is a cumbersome way to be critical of
19th century scientific method that pointed to a form of materialism.
Heideggar found that existence was the ground of subjective experience
and that this should be the basis for any real ontology of the world.
Rather than talk about this, I have found that meditation does the same
trick without the expensive words.
