Abstract
The paper deals with the concept of the image within the framework of transcendental
phenomenology as a philosophical method of phenomenon cognition in the relation
between Husserl’s and Heidegger’s understanding of the phenomenon. While
the concept of the phenomenon from Plato to Kant was understood empirically, as an
representation of the real world - as its sensory image, the concept of the phenomenon
of the 20th century is fundamentally different. The phenomenon is presented in
Husserl’s and Heidegger’s philosophy as an image that has no empirical character. It
is given to consciousness as an imagination. According to phenomenological tradition
of the 20th century “to have an image” means to have a mental image of the world, not
the world in its reality. While Husserl wonders on image as a phenomenon at the ontological
level, Heidegger applies Husserl’s principles to consider the image as a world
and therefore as a work of art. In the first, ontological sense, Heidegger shows how
the “age of the image” of the world started with the mental presentation of the image
that the modern subject imagines as an idea. Without such a procedure, a modern age
subject would not signify subjectivity inherent to the new age. He regards the work of
art as an image that brings the truth into the world. In his famous rejection of aesthetic
consciousness Heidegger offers the possibility of a kind of ontological view of the
work of art which is the question of the existence of being, and that is on how the art
expresses the truth of being. Based on Husserl’s consideration of the phenomenon and
Heidegger’s consideration of the image as a representation, phenomenology is reflected
as an attempt to understand the image as a phenomenon, that is, an extra-sensory
“representation” of the world that has not become an image, but an image that becomes
a world in absolute self-presenting freedom.
