The undefinability of ‘Being’ is connected with its universality. ‘Being’ cannot be defined as an entity; entities require a character. Heidegger, however, insists that ‘Being’ cannot have the character of entity due to traditional [Aristotelean] logic. The way in which traditional logic characterizes entities is subject and predicate relations. Heidegger insists that “the undefinability of being does not eliminate the question of it meaning; it demands that we look that question in the face.”
