In the Czech phenomenologist Jan Patocka, the term 'ideal genesis' refer to the necessary, essential or ideal conditions for the possibility of the empirical process of the arising of language in man. Patocka asserts that man in statu nascendi (resp. the child) must necessarily become aware of his being-in-the-world in order to be able to understand the meanings of words and to enter into symbolic interactions.
