This paper examines the definition of meontology as a specific philosophical sub-discipline. The author emphasizes that while meontology focuses on a selected range of themes, it must never become isolated from philosophy as a whole. According to this perspective, every philosophical discipline must remain "full" philosophy, meaning it must preserve a holistic view of the world and human thought. The text focuses on two fundamental prerequisites necessary for grasping this field: first, clarifying the concept and nature of philosophy itself, and second, defining the thematic scope with which meontology is concerned. The aim is to demonstrate that meontology is not merely a technical segment of knowledge, but a profound exploration of non-being or the boundaries of being within the broader metaphysical and ontological discourse. The work thus contributes to the discussion on the integrity of philosophical inquiry and the relationship between specialized disciplines and their parent field, emphasizing the interconnectedness of methodology and subject matter within a holistic approach to reality.

[Méontologie – co je]
Méontologie v našem pojetí je filosofická (sub)disciplína; pro filosofické (sub)disciplíny však neplatí (resp. je zapovězená) možnost se od filosofie oddělit či odtrhnout, protože každá z nich musí zůstat celou (plnou) filosofií, i když se převážně bude zabývat jen vybranou tématikou. Takže je jako předpoklad třeba vyjasnit, jak rozumíme tomu, co to je filosofie, a za druhé také aspoň zhruba vymezit rozsah oné vybrané tématiky, na kterou se méontologie soustředí.
