Abstract

Transcendental Philosophy states that based on the Self-revelation Theory expresses the soul after occurrence and determining its creation. This theory calls the appearance of each component of the soul as the discovery after discovery; in such a way that the prior forms of the soul according to the experimental situation achieve from knowledge to action and from undifferentiated mode to differentiated mode. This analytical- descriptive study tries to accompany the reflections of the self-revelation theory with the soul phenomenology as an agent. This important issue can be helpful in two ways; one is that the being of the soul occurs in the manifestation of the action, because the action is the result of the soul actualization, and also the revelation of the being of the soul is according to the environmental conditions; On the other hand, it focuses on a link of the chain of action, from intention to destination, and applies this focus to identify the input components of the "being-action" field. In this way, the agent in its action appears an aspect of the self's existence and this self-expression simultaneously interacts with another being of the soul that leading to the occurrence of subsequent actions. The result of the bilateral development of this field thinking is the more conscious and accurate regulation of the quantity and quality of the interaction of the components in the field of action by the cognizant agent.
