Redefining Objectivity through the Semantics of Being

This work redefines objectivity as an interpersonal agreement of meanings grounded in the “semantics of being.” It argues that cognition concerns not the “being-in-itself” but the meaning constituted within subjective relational experience. Drawing on Gorgias, Aristotle, and Parmenides, the article develops a model of intentional truth understood as an act of pointing that triggers phenomenal resonance in the recipient. Objectivity emerges as a negotiated, ethical, and relational practice rather than a correspondence to an independent reality. A complementary analysis of the performative invalidity of naturalistic and materialistic presuppositions is developed in Pseudo-neutrality of EOE and the ideological presuppositions of naturalism and materialism (Zenodo, 2026).
