Nowadays, when the relationship between man and nature is playing the most important role for the future of humanity and mankind, but virtual reality and its technological solutions are gaining a dominant role globally, phenomenology, its connection with the subject’s lived experience, imagination and reality, has an equally important role. Reality, the existence of things outside us, has always confused the minds of philosophers, recognizing that their existence in the mind must be accepted because of faith, thus causing even a scandal in philosophy (I. Kant). But phenomenology, with its call to “get back to things themselves” and the structure of intentionality, has created a way to incorporate reality into our experience, providing a rationale for transcendental reality. The article examines the objective form of constituting the world in Husserl’s Cartesian Meditations and the understanding of unmediated reality as the body’s intentionality towards the world, in Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception. Imagination and fantasy are also structures of intentionality, fictional intentionality (E. Marbach), which focus on real and unreal images and things created in the imagination. Fantasy actualizes reality, not only in the fashion of the present but also in perspective. The view of reality in the aspect of intentionality is particularly important in the perspective of ecology, as it requires a clear awareness of the situation, a vision that A.-T. Tymieniecka calls the New Enlightenment.
