The lecture examines the relationship between concepts, intentional objects, and reality. The author argues that every concept is linked to an intentional object, and this relationship is mediated by words. They emphasize that our perception is not passive but is co-constituted by our knowledge and thinking. Ignoring this fact, i.e., assuming a pure, unburdened phenomenon, is a mistake, according to the author. They contend that both scientific and non-scientific constructions influence our perception, and that our knowledge is key to the awareness of a phenomenon. Furthermore, the lecture discusses how thinking intervenes in perception, both positively and negatively. This necessitates an analytical approach not only to perception but also to thinking itself, in order to control its influence. The author also addresses the concept of phenomenological reduction, stressing that even when refraining from certain thoughts, thinking remains active and present. Finally, they outline the future seminar topic, which will be the integrative role of the logos and ways of connecting consciousness, thinking, and concepts. The discussion touches upon Platonic philosophy and non-objective intentionality.
