THE DIMENSION OF EXISTENCE DISCLOSED BY UNRAVELING THE INTENTIONAL STRUCTURE OF IMAGINING

Phenomenology as Philosophy of Existence is concerned with the elucidation of the Manifest of Life presupposed in showing (differentiating/picturing conceptually by pointing, by ostensive demonstration as such) anything with its identity and difference. Our habitual ways of operating with representations on the other hand betray that we lack a necessary level of awareness of that manifesting Existence presupposed in terms of unfolding significations in the weave of which our memory and imagination are operationally structured by operating with pictures/representations of language and culture. Such a lack of awareness manifests itself in a peculiar way; i.e., in terms of essentialist or anti essentialist suppositions prompted by the structures of operational thinking which falls short of self-understanding as to how reality, thinking and imagination are intertwined and structured to behave and operate with pictures of language. Such behaviour and structure of thinking then manifests itself in the traditional epistemological suppositions of reality of subjectivity in contrast to objectivity, which results prom the modality of a thinking in terms of pictures, circling by analysing and constructing pictures without however understanding the structure of these pictures in connection with the actor's operational habits that shape the actor's modalities of thinking, belief and imagination structures about reality. My paper is an attempt to contribute to the awareness in connection with Wittgenstein's phenomenological reminders about the unfolding of signifying surroundings (of an ostensive definition) for a sign to point, name, picture anything in space, or an event in temporal space. Hence the awareness in question is about the structuring of empirical consciousness of space and temporality and is concerned with the possibilities of such awareness for human beings; i.e., for unravelling the ties that intertwine thinking, intelligence as such, to react operationally with pictures of language, analysing and constructing pictures on one another; hence building the structures of a labyrinth of one's own construction.
