Pregivenness

The process of questioning back displaces the emphasis in phenomenology from an inquiry into modes of givenness, which assumes that there can be a simple starting point, to an inquiry into modes of pregivenness.

It is important to realize that pregivenness or prefixing is a kind of anteriority that does its work in the present; subjects and meanings in part emerge in enuciative co-constitutive moments.

Rather, the genuinely historical lies in the appearing of the phenomenalizing cogitatio, an appearing that does not refer back to pregivennesses; that is, the genuinely historical lies in the manifestation of noetic-noematic consciousness.

Sometimes the attempt was made to reduce the inner to the outer world (Condillac, Mach, Avenarius, materialism); sometimes the outer to the inner world (Descartes, Berkeley, Fichte); sometimes the sphere of the absolute to the others (e.g., by trying to infer causally the essence and existence of something divine in general); sometimes the vital world to the pregivenness of the dead corporeal world (as in the empathy theory of life, espoused, among others, by Descartes and Theodor Lipps); sometimes the assumption of a co-world to a pregivenness of the own inner world of the assuming subject combined with that of an outer corporeal world (theories of analogy to and empathy with the consciousness of others); sometimes the general differentiation of subject and object to pregivenness of the co- or 'fellow-man', to whom an environmental element—as, for instance, 'this tree' — is supposed to be introjected, followed by subsequent introjection by the observer to himself (Avenarius); sometimes one's own body to a merely associative coordination of the self-perception of the own self and organ sensations with the own body as perceived from outside.
