Abstract
This work offers an interpretation of phenomenological ontology by formulating its fundamental propositions in order to explain their significance for science and our personal worldview. In the paper, phenomenology is understood as the proper method of ontology or the “science of being” as the most general philosophical discipline. This embodies the idea of a “first philosophy” that is free from all prejudice and that rejects or criticizes metaphysics, the subject–object dualism, empiricism, rationalism, realism, idealism, materialism, skepticism and relativism. The paper dismisses ontological objectivism as a methodological fallacy and seeks to reach a clear understanding of science, as well as of ourselves and our relation to the world. As such, it represents an introductory part of the methodology of scientific work, as well as an alternative perspective on the issues of existentialism, religion and spiritualism.
