This discussion study addresses the debate concerning phenomenology from the opportune problem of the intencional, which Martin Ritter and Mar¬tin Nitsche have conducted on the pages of Filosofický časopis. The theme of the discussion is the contribution of Heidegger to philosophy and the possibilities of a “transformative phenomenology”. The authors are, above all, concerned with the question of whether it is possible to treat transforma¬tive phenomenology as phenomenology, or rather as a narrative construct. In my contribution I show that the position of Martin Nitsche is certainly phenomenological, nevertheless that it would be helpful to moderate some aspects of his argument (and the arguments of M. Heidegger) in view of the objections of M. Ritter. I attempt to prove the existence of the intencional in the context of the natural world. To this end I draw on the examples of G. Bachelard’s phenomenology of the imagination; Krtoušová interpretation of quantum mechanics; and Agamben’s description of friendship. With the help of Bachelard’s theory I then attempt to present Heidegger’s interpreta¬tion as the phenomenological picture of the hidden and to thus prove its phe¬nomenological relevance. Finally, drawing on Elberfeld’s interpretation of transformative phenomenology, I defend the possibility of phenomenology as a performative and as a “training” into the connectedness of the person and the world.
