Abstract

The article investigates the meaning of «nothing» in the context of human ontology on the example of two versions of existential philosophy (J.-P. Sartre and M. Heidegger). The author analyzes the concept of nothing in the framework of existential ontology, because it involves the study of the ontological concepts of «what» and «nothing», «being» and «nonexistence » in their relation to the anthropological concept of « who». The author explains the anthropological meaning of «nothing», explores the role played by the concept of «nothing» in the interpretation of man and his freedom, proposed by these philosophers.
