ENPhenomenology, while rethinking the history of Western metaphysics, comes back to the question concerning the nature of being. Derrida, while deconstructing the logo centric metaphysics of being, pays special attention to the rules of grammar and logic. Phenomenology repeats the belief of medieval grammarians that the being of the world and man is a grammatical construction and, modifying it by means of phenomenological reflection, claims that being can be apprehended indirectly by means of language. In Husserfs transcendental phenomenology we see the transformed concept of transcendentality. Thomism understands the transcendental dimension as belonging to being which surpasses all the categorical definitions: no ontic category comprehends the transcendental attributes of being, for these attributes are really identical with being and are distinguished only speculatively; whereas Husserl assigns transcendentali ty to pure consciousness which he calls transcendental ego and treats as the central source of being. The peculiarity of HusserPs epistemological method becomes apparent in the concept of experience. The transformations of metaphysical thinking in phenomenology show the relations between subject and reality through materiality. Phenomenology treats as an object not only the world which surrounds a man but also his consciousness. [From the publication]
