since it has been making total function in mind, the creating a situation of insolvency
unauthorized constitution existential meanings and senses of life. Existential dramatic
changes contemporary people seek existential reliance that brings the human mind
beyond the verbal-metaphysical practices and motivate to seek authenticity of life on
the “veracity” of being meaningless helping overcome many life problems and
situations.

human nature, outlining the uniqueness and originality of life and meaning are caused
by verbal reflexive thinking involving language and communication, argument
mediation. In particular, constitution of the meanings points to the importance of
intellectual human potential in providing sense of life. Articulation unity sensual and
reflective human capacity in the process of constituting discourse-sense
understanding clarifies the complex mechanisms in providing sense of life. It is

are fixed in the minds of the people and culture of the people speaking strange fence
