This text explores the historical and philosophical evolution of mental constructions, a method born at the intersection of mathematics and philosophy. The author traces how the invention of conceptualization and ideal geometric forms influenced early philosophical inquiries into reality. While mathematical constructions proved exceptionally effective in the natural sciences, they also burdened European thought with a tendency toward systematic objectification. The article highlights the limitations of this approach, which proves inadequate for themes that elude objective representation. The author argues for the necessity of non-objective thinking, moving beyond the visual metaphors of Greek theorein. The goal is to reconstruct the method of construction to address realities that cannot be intentionally modeled as objects standing before our mental sight. This shift in thinking is essential for a deeper understanding of spiritual and social phenomena that the prevailing objectifying tradition has historically overlooked or distorted.
