Abstract

This paper pursues to explain Heidegger's interpretation of subjectivity and metaphysics of modernity in his work entitled Hegel's Concept of Experience based on one of his confrontation with Hegel's magnificent work, i.e., Phenomenology of Spirit. To this end, Heidegger’s critique of Hegel on the question of the absolute, subjectivity, parousia of the absolute, metaphysics of modernity as the end of his philosophy, and the role of ontological difference in his thought were examined. Finally, it is concluded that in Heidegger's opinion, Hegel's philosophy is subject-oriented, subjective, and a modern metaphysics that aims to demonstrate the nihilism of modern technology. So, Hegel plays a pivotal role in Heidegger's meta-narrative of the history of western metaphysics which aims to shed some light on the nihilism of modern technology.Therefore, the striking similarity in Hegel’s and Heidegger’s reflections on the meaning of the end of philosophy and the question of original thought is undeniable.
