Abstract
The crisis of traditional ontology forces philosophers to look for the ways around the traps of metaphysics. At that, an unlucky choice of the basic ontological category restricts the further development of the conception. The most influential and fundamental ontological projects of XIX-XX centuries - neokantianism (H.Rickert), phenomenology (E.Husserl), and neopositivism (G.Frege) - consider the metaphysics as a horizon of meaning. They utilize the ontology of meaning. At the same time, we may introduce the social ontology and view metaphysics as a horizon of the social; and, in such a way, overcome the traditional traps via interpreting the problems in any regional ontology in a broader and more universal context.
