"Being" and "non-being" - philosophical ways of reflection of Universe
Being and non-being are the initial categories of philosophy as the form of social consiousness. Being and non-being should be regarded in two aspects: as direct presence of really-objective world supposing it itself, and as reflection of this world in the human consciousness. Complicacy of understanding of Being is connected with the fact, that Being has no its predicate. It means that it cannot be determined. It can be distinguished (marked out) only as the initial category of philosophy. It is possible to do it only through its opposition - non-being. Against the background of categories Being and non-being all the space of theoretical understanding of the world displays itself. Non-being and Being are opposites, where Being can appear in the role of non-being. Realizing itsels, Being does contain potential side of non-being in its structure, which is the condition of Being and on the contrary: non-being is the condition of appearance of Being must contain a side of Being. The side of Being appears here as potential condition of the appearance of Non-being.
