| Abstract | The paper deals with the three major and significant differences between the Western and Eastern metaphysics are discussed：(1) One of the most important key words of the Western metaphysics is the "form" derivated from the "idea" or "eidos"，both of them designating the form from the rational point of view，while in the Eastern metaphysics, the form is always conceived in its purely phenomenal dimension. (2) The basic notion of the Western metaphysics is "being"，so that metaphysics stands tautologically for ontology as the science of being，while in the East "Jao" (to have，having) is the central metaphysical notion. (3) The Western metaphysics used to be connected with the monotheistic religion or with the monistic naturalism -- hence，its henologic orientation. In turn，the metaphysics in the East was being closely related to the atheistic spiritualism. |
