Abstract
If transcendental reality could be found in the outward world and proved in experiment, it would be the object of positive science; if transcendental reality were the result of fantasy or ordinary introspection, it would be the object of art or everyday life. But insofar as these natural spheres of human life don’t experience transcendental reality, its very existence seems to be problematic, and any philosopher who speaks about it often remains misunderstood. Here I will consider the idea that transcendental reality appears for the first time not in contemplation but in a particular type of reasoning forming the sphere of philosophy, and that this very philosophy is not merely an abstract description of human existence, but is its deepest determination and creation. In this way, the value of transcendental reality for human existence can be µnderstood through the philosophical word which stops being only a theory and becomes an immediate form of life, and a positive expression can be achieved for both of them.
