This study critically examines the concept of the phenomenon, which is traditionally understood as that which is immediately "given" to the subject, particularly through sensory perception. The author challenges the very possibility of immediacy in human experience and points out the inherent contradictions in the empiricist conception of knowledge. It is argued that no experience or "data of consciousness" can be considered immediate, as a complex mediating structure always exists between an external stimulus and its conscious realization. Special attention is given to the role of higher levels of consciousness, which necessarily participate in the constitution of the phenomenon. The work warns against an uncritical approach that mistakes the resulting appearance for a direct insight into what is appearing. The aim of the text is to emphasize that what appears to us is always the result of a complex process of mediation rather than a simple passive reception of external sensations. In this way, the text opens a deeper discussion on the nature of human consciousness and its active role in shaping perceived reality.
