Abstract

The following is not a prescriptive text, neither a definitive one, though sometimes it might be thought it is the other way around. In any case, this is a reflection or, if you dislike Cartesian terminology, this is a way of arguing about certain worldview. I chose to call it phenomenology, but you might call it what you please; perhaps “Merlin’s magnifying glass”. The important thing is that the chosen term should suggest that what is there feels and, and at the same time, is felt. And that between what is there and us there is not a gap but a sensitive coexistence. I offer three examples of such a sensitive coexistence based on the relation constructed between "it" before "me" and "me" before "it". After all these considerations, instead of stating a clear set of conclusions, I invite you to try a similar approach in the hope that you succeed - unlike me.
