Abstract

The criticism levelled by Hegel against Kant’s philosophy mostly concerned the distinction between things as they appear in our thoughts, i.e., phenomena, and things as they are in reality, i.e., noumena. Phenomena, which are for Hegel our immediate, living experience, are not mere appearances but are reality itself as it appears to consciousness. Hegel’s phenomenology is, therefore, a true ontology, being a science of the existence of man. Phenomenological philosophy, in the terms proposed by Husserl, has widely influenced contemporary science in general and appeared particularly suitable for the life and cognitive sciences. When a natural fact cannot be immediately reduced to first principles, it is possible to isolate some of its variables and consider the relationship between the changes in these variables and their dimension or the dimension of other variables.
