So in a way Heidegger is moving from a reinterpretation of the idea of Being, since this is the primary way the Greeks understood things, to a reinterpretation of the idea of Becoming-as-Being, which is what negation as analyzed by the later traditions leads to--i.e. not-Being as a way of Being--and then from there to an idea of Being that is beyond both the Greek and the Christian/German Idealist tradition. This means that as he moves further and further away from Being-towards-death and towards the issue of temporality in the later chapters of Being and Time he is looking more and more at how negation can be redefined explicitly--i.e. not implicitly, as it is in the sections on Being-towards-death--by bringing in time. Thus he will have to contend with the two greatest philosophers of each tradition, Aristotle and Hegel, concerning time.
