The Ontology of Verbs and the Horizon of Creators

 

Abstract

Philosophy based on epistemology is a philosophy of nouns which is restricted by the horizon of the knower, and cannot explain creation by human beings within its subjectobject frame. Therefore, we propose a philosophy of verbs that establishes itself on creational ontology and re-understands existence and origin from the horizon of the creator, so as to make that “I do” (facio) the starting point for the understanding of all order, ideas, and history that require consideration.

Notes

1 Plato, Meno, section 80d.

2 This example has a genuine prototype. I once asked a head of a mental institution what, after all, one could essentially call “mentally ill people” if one avoided unintelligible professional jargon. After thinking for a long while, he replied, “people who differ from others.” It looks ridiculous on the surface, but it is really difficult to work out a better definition.
