Summary/Abstract: The starting point of the thoughts on the margin of philosophical readings is that ‘vertiginous’ question: Why there is something, rather than nothing? Confronting some of basic philosophical distinctions, such as distinction between being (esse,τὸεἶναι) and existence (being in change), between being (ens, τὸὄν) and being (esse,τὸεἶναι), between the absolute nothing and that which is not something, will lead to the possibility of trying to formulate an answer to that question. The answer that imposes itself to the author discovers that absolute prius – that thanks to which being (esse, τὸεἶναι) that is not something, trough its own denial of itself as such, make possible the existence of the world as the beings (ταὄντα), i.e. existents – is the freedom that has the form of that self-denial. The reflection of that original absolute freedom is found in the world in form of relative mundane freedom. In the man’s world it is man’s freedom to chose between good and evil existing for the sake of each other.
