Phenomenological Contributors
"...continued search for a concrete understanding of the environment...The concept of existential space is devided in the complementary terms "space" and "character", in accordance with the basic psychic functions "orientation" and "identification"...."Thing, order, character, light and time are the basic categories of concrete natural understanding."
