Abstract: Husser's ontology is primarily concerned with the positional setting of being (Seinssetzung) withinconsciousness, whereby being must be reduced and reconstituted at the level of the transcendental subject. Heideggercritiques this subject-centered approach, seeking to access being itself through the ontological difference(ontologische Differenz); however, owing to the inherently "unresolved" character of his method, being itselfremains fundamentally indeterminate, and the subject is ultimately compelled to relinquish itself in deference to theclaim of being. This predicament leads Heidegger to repose the task of thinking and to tumn toward the poeticizationof language. The Yi (Book of Changes), as a foundational canonical text of Confucianism and Taoism, effectivelyresolves the central aporias of ontology afer being brought into alignment with the "Way of human nature and vitallife" (xingming zhi dao 之) through Confucian interpretation. It may be said that the Yi as a wholemanifests the operation of the ontological ground, illuminating how the subject, situated within this operation, maycome to apprehend that ground and ultimately achieve a transcendence of being.
Key words: positional setting of being (Seinssetzung); transcendental ego; ontological difference;Yi(Book ofChanges)
