Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the articulated moments of experience in two philosophers of the XX-th century, Martin Heidegger and Alphonso Lingis. It attempts to highlight the main moments of this process and the basic assumptions. Both authors are related to the phenomenological movement and its potential field of development. To validate this widely accepted proposition – considering the traditional range of problems in question in phenomenology – the thought systems of Lingis and Heidegger are analyzed on two levels: first, how they correlate with the phenomenological view, and secondly, how they fit together. This article proposes to uncover what tradition and course of philosophy could be attributed to them. It focuses upon the creative efforts of both philosophers to articulate experience. Such efforts may be named – inherited from the Greek philosophy – the basic strain of μετα and φυσις. The article directs special attention to Alphonso Lingis’s philosophy in order to view the reception of his ideas in Lithuania’s philosophical discourse.
