| Abstract: |
The article proposes an ontoanalytic method blending general semantics and existential philosophy, arguing that our relationship with nothingness—mediated by language—determines alienation or sovereign transformation. Topics include existential psychoanalysis and bad faith, semantic reactions and linguistic structures; and the role of nothingness in authentic being and freedom. |
