If we are talking about the moon, a moon phase exists because a part of the moon is not directed towards the sun and is therefore dark. Realize that at all times half the moon is directed towards the sun, but how much of that part is visible to us depends on lunar rotation around Earth. An eclipse on the other hand exists because light from the sun to the moon is blocked by the Earth; what you are seeing is the Earth's shadow on the moon.
