ABSTRACT
The person always oscillates between personal emancipation and personal regression, either simultaneously or successively, based on whether they go one degree up or down along this fluid dynamic. When one laughs, for example, what one laughs about belongs to the level of regression, while the laughing subject pertains to the emancipated level, to which one can always return from the regression level. The perceiving person is essentially constituted by the impersonality of perception, as they co-belong to their perceptual situation; the latter determines the perceiver by involving them in a participative relationship that can be considered relatively impersonal for its adirectional intentionality. Thus neutralizing the subjectivity of meanings – the internally diffuse meaningfulness of a situation – the person marks their access to the impersonality typical of neutral facts. This impersonality is made possible by personal emancipation, able to neutralize meanings and, at the same time, singularize the world.
