Preferred term

totality  

Definition

  • Martin Heidegger claims that metaphysics deals with beings as beings, and always represents beings in their totality, considering their most universal traits. Thus in Being and Time (1927b), he searches for general statements that can be made about Being. [Source: Dictionary of Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling; Totality]
