This text presents a critical analysis of the traditional ontological principle "operari sequitur esse," which posits that action is necessarily preceded by being. The author challenges this classical view, suggesting instead the reverse perspective: that being is not a static foundation but rather the result of active performance. However, if "esse" follows "operari," a fundamental philosophical problem arises: how can a non-existent entity perform the action that brings about its own being? The text avoids resorting to traditional theological explanations involving a Creator or dismissing the issue with superficial phrasing. Instead, it seeks a deeper understanding of the relationship between existence and action. This reflection touches upon the core of metaphysics, exploring the paradoxical nature of both human and general being within time. It raises the question of whether it is possible to overcome the duality between the agent and the act without relying on dogmatic assumptions. Ultimately, the work offers a provocative starting point for discussing the dynamic character of reality, where identity is understood not as a given state, but as a continuous performance.
