What could the phenomenal identity be? Considerations on the basis of retrospective description of my own research and analyses of the concepts of philosophy

Abstract

The text is a re-examination of the reflections that result from theoretical analyses of my earlier research. They concerned metaphorical thinking, seeing and constructing visual analogies and the critical thinking of an allegorist using irony. My experience in education research prompted me to reflect on the phenomenal identity of the participants of the alternative proposed in my studies. The question is whether the characterization of the phenomenal identity can be fulfilled in associated contexts drawn from the concepts of philosophy. “The epiphany of the face” by E. Lévinas and M. Merleau-Ponty’s “the phenomenal field” are concepts that, in my opinion, can be used to explain the meaning of acts of action in the “educational opportunities” of the person gaining phenomenal identity
