Absract. The article aims to substantiate the genesis of consciousness and selfconsciousness
through metaphysical thinking. Metaphysical thinking is explicated as a transcendence that a priori determines every possible object of consciousness. In this sense, metaphysical thinking determines a priori the unity of existence. Existence is explicated as a unity of the interpretive models of consciousness.
Thus, metaphysical thinking is seen as a function of the transcendent unity that
is the a priori truth of the consciousness’ genesis. The logical relation between
metaphysical thinking and consciousness is expressed by asymmetric implication.
In this way, existence in the language of consciousness is phenomenologized.
Thus arises the ontological understanding of existence. In this sense, metaphysical
thinking determines the transcendental form of consciousness and the ontological
form of existence.
Keywords: transcendence; transcendent function; metaphysical thinking; transcendental consciousness; phenomenology of existence; ontological synthesis
