• Creative phenomenology: Emphasizes the creative experience of man.
• Being monism: One Being (life) is constantly evolving.
• Creative virtualities: Creative imagination as the reason for human creativity.
• Completeness of humanity: By creating culture, man reaches the state of authentic being.
• Connection of objectivism with transcendentalism: Objective reality as the starting point of creation.

Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, departing from transcendentalism and ontologism, proposes a creative phenomenology that puts the creative experience of man at the center. In her concept, cultural activity is closely related to the creation of the original meaning of human existence. Accepting being monism, Tymieniecka argues that there is one Being (life) that is constantly evolving, and that man is the highest stage of evolution due to the appearance in him of specific creative virtualities.

The concept of culture proposed by Tymieniecka fits into the oldest way of interpreting the relationship between culture and nature, typical of ancient Greek thought. According to this approach, culture is a complete complement to nature, especially human nature. By creating culture, man reaches the fullness of humanity, that is, the state of authentic being. Tymieniecka combines objectivism with transcendentalism, pointing to objective reality as the starting point for the creation of an individual sense of human existence by a subjective subject.
