Way of givenness, manner of presentation, philosophy: expression from G. Frege for distinguishing meaning (in Frege's sense of meaning that upon which a term refers - today "reference") and the sense (in Frege's use of the term, what we today call "meaning"). The givenness depends both on the circumstances and the individual language use. Carnap introduces the concept of "intension" for the way of givenness. See also intensions, extensions, propositions, propositional attitudes, improper speech, proper speech, improper sense, proper sense, meaning, reference.

Edmund Husserl on Way of Givenness - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 248
Way of Givenness/Husserl/Gadamer: According to Husserl's own statement(1) it was the a priori-correlation of experience and ways of givenness, which dominated his whole life-work since the logical investigations. Already in the fifth logical investigation he had worked out the peculiarity of intentional experiences and distinguished consciousness - as he made it a research topic, "as an intentional experience"(...) - from the real unit of consciousness of experiences and from their inner perception.

Gadamer I 249
Validity of being now also possesses human subjectivity [in Husserl's phenomenology]. It is therefore to be regarded just as much, i.e. it too is to be explored in the diversity of its modes of existence. Such an exploration of the ego as a phenomenon is not "inner perception" of a real ego, but it is also not a mere reconstruction of the i.e. relationship of the contents of consciousness to a transcendental ego pole (Natorp)(2) but is a highly differentiated topic of transcendental reflection.
Way of Givenness: This reflection represents the growth of a new dimension of research compared to the mere fact of phenomena of objective consciousness, a fact in intentional experiences. For there is also a given fact that is not itself the object of intentional acts. Every experience has implied horizons of the before and after and finally merges with the continuum of the before and after present experiences to form the unity of the stream of experience. >Time/Husserl, >Time-consciousness/Husserl.
