Pure Presence Being

This is the kind of Being that almost all the major philosophers up to Husserl assumed that Being was intrinsically and wholely. Some desenters were Heraclitus, Hegel Nietzsche and a few others. But for the most part Aristotle, Kant, Descartes and a host of lesser lights assumed that Being was static and purely available to the subject.

This kind of Being assumes the subject/object split that distances and separates us from the things of the world. It is the kind of Being that the infintesimal ideal moment NOW has described by Saint Augustus.

This is the kind of Being that ideas have. It is the illusory continuity which is the background on which ideas float. It expresses itself as the kind of Being that symbols and forms of formal systems have.

It is expressed in the present-at-hand modality of being-in-the-world.

It is the lowest logical type of the meta-levels of Being. The next higher logical type of Being is Process Being.
