The first was the 61-st international congress on Phenomenology organized by the World Institute for Advanced Phenomenological Research and learning. The congress was hosted by Istanbul Kultur University from June 27 to July 1, 2011. The topic of the congress was the following: Phenomenology and the Human Position in the Cosmos – The Life-World, Nature, Earth The second was the OPO IV World Conference on Phenomenology held in Spain, in Segovia from the 19th to the 23rd of September 2011. The topic of the conference: Reason and Life. Responsibility of Philosophy The 61-st congress on phenomenology offered a vast range of problems commencing with phenomenology of poetry and fine arts and embracing the phenomenological interpretations of cosmology in relation with human creativity. In the reports and discussions the cosmos was unfolded as a metaphysical area of creative forces which influenced the human mind to go beyond the constitutive activity of thinking to the unconscious sphere of human creativity. According to phenomenological viewing the life now enters a new area of development under the spell of cosmic-metaphysical forces. The life appears to be the phenomenon which takes into account the inter-phenomenal openness of being toward the metaphysi- cal sphere. At the Istanbul Congress these complicated and profound problems of contemporary world were discussed from various angles. Human-transcendental position in the cosmos, which sounds as a counterpoint to his\her natural position appeared to be the backbone and the major theme of the discussions. It is not easy to outline all the diversities of problems, methodological approaches, suggestions and ideas revolving round the nucleus of central topic but all the debates eventually came to some reducible position to the basic dilemmas serving as a starting point of the congress. While discussing these problems the participants took into account the cosmological theory of “big bang“ concerning the incipient explosion of the nucleus 7 of the matter and extension of the system of galaxies. It was also important the suggestion concerning the intelligibility of the universe in accord with theory of relativity and other various ideas like the issue of “black holes” within the matter, etc... But all these conceptions make cosmological viewpoints according to physics. To speak about metaphysical aspects of cosmos in sphere of genesis of being we also need philosophical approach. The major leitmotif of Istanbul congress was the phenomenological approach to the cosmic forces in its integrity with human creativity. Phenomenology assists to grasp the universe in dynamic process of becoming the being and besides, it takes into account the sense-formation act of ideas reflecting the process of this cosmic development. Putting in other words, phenomenology embraces the motion of cosmic forces in its integrity with transcendental conceptual basis. Such a complicated problem is far from the physical viewpoint. For the physicist the cosmos presents the area of physical-celestial bodies and cosmic relations are reducible unto the interactions of physical objects. Even if we shared the position of Einshtein concerning the intelligibility of the cosmos it would be the intelligibility from the viewpoint of physicist – who considers the cosmological concepts and ideas as an ideal, as stable basic forms which determines objectively physical objects and relations in-between. Einshtein’s viewpoint of cosmic intelligibility implies that order
