Abstract
Abstract. In this article I offer a programmatic interpretation of the fundamental problem of phenomenology in terms of a philosophy of revelation. As the subtitle expresses, this text is a research summary which shows the framework and the main conceptual structures of “phenomenology as philosophy of revelation”. I propose the outline of a renewal of one of the last important developments of Western philosophy both in terms of its metaphysical aspiration and scientific relevance. After the general introduction, I delineate the philosophical problem of revelation. I show how reflections on this problem influenced early phenomenology. I explain the underlying subject matter in the history of phenomenology, i.e., the notion of disclosure. I also outline what I term apocalyptic phenomenology in order to focus on the philosophical understanding of revelation. In this part I offer some details of the notion of newness and the appropriate method applied here. Finally, I summarize the scientific relevance of my approach in the context of logic, methodology, and disciplinarity with a special emphasis on the study of religion.
