Before Meaning : Reflections and Essays on Human Understanding of Being
By Sukkhapong Khahawonganan

This book was born from a simple yet radical realization: our greatest problem may lie within the very "foundations of knowing." It suggests that we don't merely "not know" or "lack knowledge," but rather that everything we accept as "knowledge" may be built upon a distorted epistemology—one that fails to answer the most fundamental question: "Who are we, truly?"

"Before Meaning" invites you to return to the origins of significance. It critiques the relationship between power and the primary forms of epistemology, questioning the intersections of language, power, knowledge, belief, religion, and culture. It examines the very essence of "Self"—or what might be collectively termed the "foundations of knowing, existence, and identity."

In other words, this book deconstructs what we consider "human nature"—concepts such as "mind," "consciousness," "self-awareness," and "truth." It explores how our interpretation of "who we are" may, in fact, be a mechanism of language and power, creating myths that dictate how we perceive existence.
