Abstract: Free Exercises of Cosmo-Egology unfolds as a series of meditations on solitude, freedom, and the ontological condition of Being, written as notes on a Hegelian reading. At its center lies the concept of ontological surprise: the sudden disclosure of Being that unsettles belief, corrects error, and opens consciousness to truth. Through this lens, Marcel Chelba explores the dialectics of selfhood and existence—the tension between being and non-being, faith and doubt, solitude and universality. Freedom emerges not as a given, but as a possibility revealed in the interplay of presence and absence, certainty and uncertainty. Both rigorous and lyrical, the work sketches an ontology of freedom that resonates with Kant’s transcendental legacy and Hegel’s speculative dialectic, while also echoing the timeless human search for self-certainty and transcendence.
