This paper alms at revealing and examining some rarely noticed sources of Heidegger's writings. In Volumes 13, 39, 42 and 75 of Gesamtausgabe, Heidegger discussed the relationship between the beginning of Western philosophy and ancient Asiatic civilizations. From his discussions, it can be seen that Heidegger perceived radical differences between the two. Ancient Asiatic civilizations are mythical to the West in the way they embrace blind fate in denial of the human will, an attitude that is most foreign and incomprehensible to the Greek mind. In contrast to Asian thought, Western philosophy began and subsequently achieved its historical uniqueness and greatness by striving to conquer man's greatest adversary, blind fatalism.
