Abstract
The conceptual issue of modern philosophical anthropology is considered, i.e. the «experience» of the world by man. The aim of study is to describe an «alienated» person as object and subject of the analysis within the existential perspective. The philosophical task is not to choose one of the paradigms, but to build basic components, «correctly (not eclectically)» integrated into the epistemological structure of such a procedure. The phenomenological attitude does not abolish the apodictic Cartesian certainty of the «real», but presupposes other methods of analyzing the multidimensional processes of the formation of the «personal» surrounding world by human consciousness. One of the modes of being is the «natural» life of the individual in accordance with the primordial «experience of subjectivity». Each person fundamentally has the opportunity to move to a new level of mastering (constituting) the «objective» world, following immanent «instructions». The «universal» analysis takes into account this «correlative horizon». The «factual» content of human experience compels reason to go beyond things; «physical» truth becomes metaphysical truth. The world exists for us in the change of «ways of givenness» as a kind of «semantic form-formation». The existential «drama» of a person is the result of a methodologically incorrect cognitive representation.
