In this contribution I will show the ontology of eco-imagination for a sustainable future. Starting from the phenomenological framework proposed by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka whereby the ontopoietic diffusion of the Logos of Life appears to be involved in the ferment of generative progress, I will first present the mechanism of the cognitive process proper to the perspective of realist phenomenology of one of Husserl’s most brilliant students, Dietrich von Hildebrand. The latter, distancing himself from the Husserlian transcendental turn, in line with Tymieniecka, proposes a detailed analysis of consciousness in its constant penetration of the totality of nature, in its immersion within the unity of all that is alive. We shall see how for Hildebrand being-in-relation goes to ground the character of projectuality proper to the subject in action, on what it is based and in what such projectuality consists of.
