Zaner’s theory of existence
Zaner’s theory of existence suggests that our understanding of reality is rooted in both our conscious experience and the way we interpret that experience. He emphasizes that existence isn’t just an external fact but involves our active engagement and awareness. For Zaner, the act of perceiving and interpreting shapes our understanding of what exists, highlighting the dynamic relationship between consciousness and the world. In essence, our existence is shaped through conscious experience, meaning we participate in constructing our understanding of reality rather than passively observing it.
