Summary/Abstract: French thinker Jean-Luc Marion (Jean-Luc Marion) is probably best known for his hypothesis of the ‘saturated phenomenon’ (phénomène saturé), namely, a hypothesis of a phenomenon that is characterized through the excess of intuition over intention or a hypothesis of nonintentional phenomenon. The most important characteristic of the saturated phenomenon is its unconditional self-givenness (Selbstgebung, donation de soi), which indicates the fact that this phenomenon shows itself beyond any meaning horizon and meaning giving activity of subjectivity. The saturated phenomenon shows itself through the unconditioned excess of intuition without the limiting measure of meaning intention or concept.
