World and phenomena

Abstract

Architectural considerations of some metaphy- sical questions about the inseparability between time, space, phenomenon and the treatment of the world as a horizon, such as Lichtung and phenomenon, are discussed here. Richir inquiries about the character of the Lichtung, for its possibility as transcendental illusion and the need to identify it, as Fink clearly points out in Welt und Endlichkeit, with the world itself. There will be then, in the world, phenomena-of-world, heterogeneous, irreducible to things, events and entities. Phenomena that are intrinsically ‘cosmological’, as Fink says, not assimilable for the entities (things or events), to the extent that they can be reabsorbed in the presence.
