Abstract
The following reflection which I wish to share with you, about life — so to speak, practicing the phenomenological reflection together with my esteemed colleagues present here — relies essentially on my thought being unfolded and published during the last quarter of this century. I have developed my thought as a challenged to three crucial issues discussed in the theories of Husserl, Ingarden, and Heidegger. In numerous writings, I have presented both disagreement with, and alternative views to, these thinkers, whom I enormously respect.
