fa Pre-Beingness; Reconsidering the Problem of Ground in the Horizon of Meta-Ontology, Knowledge, and Manifestation The notions of priority, foundation, and condition of possibility have been among the most pervasive themes in the history of philosophy. Yet philosophical traditions have largely focused on identifying particular foundations rather than examining the structure of priority itself. This paper introduces the concept of “Pre-beingness” as an independent philosophical problem and investigates whether it is merely an epistemic presupposition or a more fundamental structure underlying being, cognition, and manifestation. Using reexamining ontological, epistemological, and phenomenological traditions, the study argues that structures of priority, grounding, referentiality, and conditionality recur throughout the history of thought. The findings suggest that pre-beingness is neither an entity, nor a mode of being, nor merely an epistemological category; rather, it is a meta-ontological structure that makes grounding, explanation, understanding, manifestation, and directedness possible. Accordingly, pre-beingness may be understood as the universal condition of priority relations and the common horizon within which philosophical foundations become intelligible.   Pre-beingness, Meta-Ontology, Ontology, Condition of Possibility, Ground Phenomenology 305 325 http://jpt.daneshafarand.org/browse.php?a_code=A-10-240-11&slc_lang=fa&sid=6 M.A. Montazeri 1003194753284600388022 1003194753284600388022 No Islamic Seminary of Qom, Qom, Iran
