Definitions

  1. The quality or state of being pregiven.

    • 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.
