Phenomenon

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani approaches the phenomenon as a fundamentally Kantian concept: the set of objects of a possible experience, in time and space1. The phenomenon is neither the realist's reality in itself nor the idealist's purely subjective, and the laws of physics apply to it2. He describes it as the collaboration between matter coming from the sensory manifold and form supplied by the mind, and so as a compromise between what comes from the real and the a priori structuring of our knowledge34. He insists on translation: Erscheinung means appearing (apparition), not appearance (Schein), that is, something active, a manifestation56. The phenomenon is the whole of appearance, and this totality comes from the subject: it is more real than an appearance, less real than the real in itself78. With Hegel, he presents manifestation as the movement of coming into being and passing away, a movement that itself neither comes into being nor passes away9.
