Abstract

The concept of ''PLACE'' depends on the modern understanding of being. Today, we regard PLACE simply as a mathematical and measurable SPACE which contains things. Furthermore, we regard this concept as a self-evident concept, while this conception belongs to modern understanding of being. Since in modern ages being is understood as an object, PLACE is only measurable SPACE that, in the final analysis, is not separate of the things themselves. But, in the traditional pre-modern thought, for example in Aristotle, since being means actuality and SUBSTANCE, in accordance to this concept PLACE is the last level of the container of things. PLACE, for Aristotle, is a natural thing containing natural things but he does not think about it as a mere quantitative thing (as Descartes thinks so). Everything, according to its special nature, has natural PLACE. Soil, water, air and fire, each one has its own special PLACE. Heidegger, who believes that old and modern Metaphysical thought are based on neglecting the Truth of Being, criticizes traditional conception of PLACE and tries to think about it according to the human beings Dasein, NEARNESS and DISTANCE to Being and beings.
