Not remotely, he's a Pragmatic.
Basically he doesn't want to destroy tradition and do permanent revolution of any kind. He wants to loosen existing traditions and institutional arrangements so they can be adaptive to the needs of life right now with specific orientation to opening up the limitlessness potential in humans through enabling the individual and the imagination.

Another aspect of that is that his materialism is useful toward the idea of more fully living this, the life you live right now.
He makes it clear in RotF that whether or not reality is actually cyclic or linear temporally, or if there are spirit and matter divide, are to be viewed in practical effect terms.
Does fatalism make society disengage and act apathetically? Often yes, and he shows how. Whether or not fatalism is real is totally irrelevant to living life more fully right now (not hedonism, he covers why that's harmful too)

Buddha rejected all existence by existence and all nothing by nothing, nothing as asserting something and in term its assertion of "something". The Aryan Buddha focused on uniting of opposites (as so many great men and teachings of knowledge have in the past), the uniting of the most fundamental of fundamental's yet without the destruction of the fundamental itself. In other words it's aim was the same as moksha a unification of all without the destruction of all. To remove the duality of thought of "something" and "other" without falling it monism of thought and so simply om. He would be more greatly defined as focusing on being yet ultimately he falls better into the three categories perhaps not in practicality but in the essentiallity of his philosophy.

I guess I can accept that definition of the Socratic's even if there have been so many more before and after to define to that term better and yet the definition is still "iffy" considering the vague definition of being over history.

I would say you have matched these terms badly in the way that the broad names chaotic, orderly, neutral would be better suited.

One chooses what one wants to be (generally the best version of oneself) and puts all his soul/effort into that, making life a proyect that never ends of moving towards that. Although that's more of a Nitzschean way of looking at it.
The point is that there is no "essence" or predefined mission for you, there is no set of things that constitute you when you are born, you have to make them yourself, thus, you are not only a "being", you are a person that strives to "become" something or someone.

Yes however I reject that term because of the rejection of synthesis in which the Buddha faced - total Synthesis as laid out within say Kabbalah of duality is equated with God, the Buddha however does not reject the separation of opposites rather he embraces both object, subject and synthesis without either taking dominance.

this is completely false.

>"By & large, Kaccayana, this world is supported by (takes as its object) a polarity, that of existence & non-existence. But when one sees the origination of the world as it actually is with right discernment, 'non-existence' with reference to the world does not occur to one. When one sees the cessation of the world as it actually is with right discernment, 'existence' with reference to the world does not occur to one.

>"By & large, Kaccayana, this world is in bondage to attachments, clingings (sustenances), & biases. But one such as this does not get involved with or cling to these attachments, clingings, fixations of awareness, biases, or obsessions; nor is he resolved on 'my self.' He has no uncertainty or doubt that just stress, when arising, is arising; stress, when passing away, is passing away. In this, his knowledge is independent of others. It's to this extent, Kaccayana, that there is right view.

>"'Everything exists': That is one extreme. 'Everything doesn't exist': That is a second extreme. Avoiding these two extremes, the Tathagata teaches the Dhamma via the middle: From ignorance as a requisite condition come fabrications. From fabrications as a requisite condition comes consciousness. From consciousness as a requisite condition comes name-&-form. From name-&-form as a requisite condition come the six sense media. From the six sense media as a requisite condition comes contact. From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling. From feeling as a requisite condition comes craving. From craving as a requisite condition comes clinging/sustenance. From clinging/sustenance as a requisite condition comes becoming. From becoming as a requisite condition comes birth. From birth as a requisite condition, then aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair come into play. Such is the origination of this entire mass of stress & suffering.

Exactly you fucking idiot, it resolves the conflict by synthesis which means it compromises between both by both rejection and acceptance. If it were just a blind acceptance of the previous than how does the dialectic fit within it? As the dialectic was the organism which decided upon value and if it is simply the acceptance of all regardless of value then there cannot be a dialectic nature to history.

Hence a synthesis destroys object and subject.

Shankara's works include extensive analysis of non-being, necessitated by that Nirguna Brahman is Itself beyond being. There is a conditional level of being that ties all his ideas togather but in the key areas he resolves and goes beyond the opposites of being and non-being, along with all others. His works are impenetrable to brainlets though so not everyone realizes this and the mistaken notion persists that he is a substance metaphysician and a philosopher of 'being'.

The notion of "Being" of heidegger is literally made by Heidegger. And I'm not stating this as a very naive way such as "Paradigm didn't exist before 1960s because Kuhn invented it".
The metaphysical investigation that Heidegger poured into the concept of Being is truly unique and should not be found in previous philosophies.

Well, in fact we really should say exactly this to Nagarjuna because his notion of 空 is definitely not about non-being. Although I'm not expert of it but Christian theology is always not about Being, given the fact someone as Eckhart Meister exists.
But you can always say this (in particularly theology), and this is 4chan where OP clearly wants to say "Do not go too deep and just settle the answer." So you should choose one of three not retarded answer such as "transcends"

actually, the buddha's approach is the reverse,

You can't just realize "non-being" and non-self from a teaching. You have to start "becoming" that person. Then you just have to be. When you realize you are content with just being, non-being essentially follows.

You want to be that guy you don't notice leave or come in the room.... not literally of course. You want to be there but not be there... hard to explain but I've seen this state first hand of non-being in meditation. It's pretty much having all your sensory channel on observe, your mind on observe, and your heart as bright as light.

Is "non-being" really a thing, though? When we write such a term, are we, beings embodying Being, actually referring to something? I've wondered this, and my position is that it could only ever refer to the lowest volume of Being, rather than something "opposite" to it, just as darkness is merely the absence of light, not something opposed to it.

All three bitch because I syncretize the emptiness of being with the framework of the Deleuzo-Nietzschean Return as the being of becoming. Unironically this is my personal stance against nihilism.

Thus, monks, a Tathagata does not conceive of a visible thing as apart from sight; he does not conceive of an unseen; he
does not conceive of a 'thing-worth-seeing'; he does not conceive
about a seer.
He does not conceive of an audible thing as apart from hearing;
he does not conceive of an unheard; he does not conceive of a
'thing-worth-hearing'; he does not conceive about a hearer.
He does not conceive of a thing to be sensed as apart from
sensation; he does not conceive of an unsensed; he does not
conceive of a 'thing-worth-sensing'; he does not conceive about one
who senses.
He does not conceive of a cognizable thing as apart from
cognition; he does not conceive of an uncognized; he does not
conceive of a 'thing-worth-cognizing'; he does not conceive about
one who cognizes
- AN 4.24

The Buddha never said that there is categorically no soul, he only spoke of anatta in reference to specific phenomena ex the five aggregates.
He rejected objectification, both being and non-being, both existence and non-existence. To say something absolutely exists or does not exist would be assigning some objective ontological status to some object of experience (whether it be a sense-object or concept/mind-object), and the Buddha was not in the business of doing that.

>To be totally clear, Brahman is by definition Being. .... Non-Being is the unmanifested Brahman.
Yes, that's why I said that he can't be catagorized on the side of 'being' (taken in a general sense) because in his understanding Nirguna Brahman is beyond the distinctions of manifest (being) and unmanifest (non-being) which are ultimately illusionary distinctions from the perspective of absolute reality, as Nirguna Brahman is undivided and without distinction. He is conditionally on the side of Being right up until you get to the unqualified and unmediated Absolute at which point he correctly notes neither being nor non-being can be correctly applied.

Being and becoming are interdependent as a necessity of the perspectival nature of relational change (Whitehead)
Consider motion: there is no motion qua motion, motion in itself, motion is a relationship between things - the same with energy, which is a relationship of potential motion. "Betweeness" is fundamental to motion and so being and becoming are co-equals as betweenesses. The whole and the part are co-emergent.
This is simultaneously a fact about our change-perception, that rather than being comprised of one unified views of change, is bifurcated into two perspectives: the instant and the cumulative. From the perspective of the instant an omnipresent experiential moment is the fixed point of reference, and experienced change is omnipresent instantaneous change in this present: the Heraclitean flux. From the perspective of the cumulative temporality is the point of reference, and experienced change is cumulative change *through* time. Our holistic perception of change is always a mixture of these modes, as they are equally necessary for sense-making of change.
The mathematical correspondence of this is in calculus as integration and differentiation as inverse operations of the same process. Derrida and Deleuze explored differential ontology, and while the differential account is important it is half-complete as an account of change.

I used to think this yet if you want to know the truth look into Kabbalah specifically the tree of life. It explains and gives an answer to your questions. I myself have only started reading Kabbalah so I cannot give an elaborate response beyond duality, repeating emotive;s and rebirth after death.

you have never seen anything eternal
you don't believe in anything eternal
either you have a metaphysics that is consistent with these brute facts, or you engage in the deception of others and/or yourself with articles of faith about unchanging things that aren't there (being) or the denial of all you were, did, felt (nonbeing)

>becoming (Nietzsche
Am I the retard here or do you guys not understand Nietzsche? I never read him as a self help guy telling you to "become" something. In fact, he's fairly explicit that (You) are part of the herd and are not destined to become anything that he'd care about. The qualities he identified as noble and as being befitting of masters are not something that individuals are to strive to embody, but rather qualities that he associates with leadership positions (creating values, assigning honours etc.) that are meant to be cultivated over generations and arise in a select few. It's part analysis of the political setup of past societies and part his hope for the future.

Such poor terminology.
You're describing abstraction and the concrete/actual, implicate and explicate orders, Purusha and Prakriti. All of these are Being.

Non-Being is Zero, the absence of both implicate and explicate, abstract and actual.

An abstraction may have no form, but no-form does not equal no-existence.

An idea in my head has no physicality, unless I act on it to make it actual, and yet the idea is an idea and does exist despite no materiality.
