This text offers a profound reflection on the ontological and linguistic development of the verb 'to be' and its fundamental influence on the formation of European philosophical thought. The author traces efforts dating back to ancient Greece to eliminate temporality and action from discourse by concentrating all thought into a pure, timeless presence. This tendency is evidenced by the transformation of active verbal processes into mere assertions of existence. The linguistic analysis touches upon the verb's etymological roots in Sanskrit, its characteristic irregularity across various Indo-European languages, and specific instances of its omission in Russian or Medieval Latin. This unique linguistic framework facilitated speculative inquiries into the nature of 'being,' which traditional metaphysics interpreted merely as static presence (esse). Ultimately, the author emphasizes the necessity of rediscovering the 'eventful' and process-oriented nature of reality. This requires a critical philosophical shift against the traditional metaphysical legacy, which for centuries prioritized timeless existence over dynamic processes and the nature of the event itself.
