This text explores the ontological and epistemological status of rules and the categories of correctness and authenticity. The author argues that these dualities precede every human activity, forming a fundamental orientation framework that structures the space of action. It critically examines the notion that rules are merely the outcome of a struggle; instead, it posits that the struggle for rules is meaningful only if it aims at discovering pre-existing, though not yet apparent, principles. If inauthentic rules are established through such a struggle, the process itself loses its inherent purpose. The author further distinguishes between the immediate environment (Umwelt) and the world in its full sense, accessible only through objectification. The tension between the authentic and inauthentic is described as originally non-objective, making it impossible to grasp fully as a distinct object. Consequently, any attempt to define or express these rules remains tentative and subject to continuous critical re-evaluation from diverse perspectives. Ultimately, the text highlights that authenticity is not a matter of human convention but a prerequisite for meaningful action.
