A Phenomenon (n.) is an entity considered along the lines of how we might consider a shirt showered in multi-colored light. It becomes entirely different depending on the particular kind of access we have to it at any given moment. As such, rather than trying to pin down what color the shirt 'really' is, we join the bull in simply taking it fort what it is, charge it at the moment it becomes bright red.
A Phenomenon (n.) is an entity in an aspect other than its 'thinginess'. It is an ontological way of looking and makes the intractable materialism idealism problem disappear.
Phenomenon (n.) is derived from the greek 'to show itself' or 'to bring something to light'. It designates those things that show themselves as themselves.
A Phenomenon (n.) is grounded in the idea that entities show themselves in many ways, depending on the kind of access we have to them. Indeed it is even possible for an entity to show itself as something it is not.
A Phenomenon (n.) is a part of Being which is never truly isolate from Being taken as a whole, and is in fact a reflection of that whole.
A Phenomenon (n.) already shows itself in appearance, as prior to the conception of phenomena.
Phenomenon (n.) shows itself as being, and which is itself a structure of the being of dasein in general.
A Phenomenon (n.) is the showing itself-in-itself of the being of entities.
A Phenomenon (n.) is unable to lie because it exists only insofar as it shows itself phenomenologically in itself and for itself with the kind of access that genuinely belongs to it.
A Phenomenon (n.) shows itself, not as a deceptive, mere appearance (as Western philosophy has taught us), but the genuine self-display of a thing.
