Singh, Mayank: The Depth of the Present and the Question of Ultimate Reality: A Phenomenological Inquiry into Disclosure and the Inexhaustibility of Experience

This paper challenges the assumption that reality possesses an ultimate foundation, final truth, or metaphysical endpoint that can be reached through inquiry. Through a phenomenological investigation of lived experience, it argues that consciousness encounters not an ultimate reality but an inexhaustible depth that continuously unfolds through presence. Human beings frequently approach existence through intervention, interpretation, and pursuit, seeking certainty, completion, and final answers.
