Summary/Abstract: This paper reconsiders an individual’s attitude towards philosophy, theology, science, technology, politics... In the first part, it establishes a free singularity in essence of language metaphysics against an empty logical I in essence of conceptual metaphysics, with a view on some Serbian language peculiarities. It then suggests that, so far, almost all sciences and philosophy place an individual in an inferior position for the sake of something senior; whereas, in religion it is, in most cases, the other way around. Despite the fact that entire practical life implies a free individual, natural science reduces everything free and individually animate to general and necessarily inanimate. In its final part, this paper deals with the fundamental theses of Dictionary of Technology, revealing that in fact, technological mind subdues a particular individual by the means of science, philosophy and art. At the very end of the paper, practical philosophy is instituted through supra-historical, supra-technological and substantive personality.
