Phenomenology is a philosophical movement that emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the perceived limitations of traditional philosophy. Traditional philosophy, according to phenomenologists, had become too abstract and removed from the lived experience of human beings. Phenomenologists sought to return to the things themselves, to the непосредственный experience of the world as it is given to us in consciousness.

The Phenomenological Method

The phenomenological method is a method of philosophical inquiry that seeks to describe the essential structures of consciousness. Phenomenologists believe that by carefully examining the way that things appear to us in consciousness, we can gain insight into the nature of reality itself. The phenomenological method involves a number of key steps, including:

Bracketing: The first step in the phenomenological method is to bracket, or set aside, all of our beliefs and assumptions about the world. This allows us to focus on the непосредственный experience of things as they are given to us in consciousness.
Intuition: Once we have bracketed our beliefs and assumptions, we can begin to intuit the essential structures of consciousness. Intuition is a form of непосредственный knowledge that is not based on reason or logic.
Description: The final step in the phenomenological method is to describe the essential structures of consciousness in a clear and concise way. This description should be free of all theoretical jargon and should be accessible to anyone who is interested in understanding phenomenology.

The Phenomenological Tradition

The phenomenological tradition is a diverse and complex one. There are many different schools of phenomenology, each with its own unique approach to the study of consciousness. Some of the most influential schools of phenomenology include:

Transcendental phenomenology: Transcendental phenomenology is the school of phenomenology that was founded by Edmund Husserl. Transcendental phenomenologists seek to describe the essential structures of consciousness that are common to all human beings. They believe that by understanding these essential structures, we can gain insight into the nature of reality itself.
Existential phenomenology: Existential phenomenology is the school of phenomenology that was founded by Martin Heidegger. Existential phenomenologists seek to understand the meaning of human existence. They believe that by understanding the way that we experience the world, we can gain insight into the nature of our own being.
Hermeneutic phenomenology: Hermeneutic phenomenology is the school of phenomenology that was founded by Hans-Georg Gadamer. Hermeneutic phenomenologists seek to understand the way that we interpret the world. They believe that by understanding the way that we make sense of our experiences, we can gain insight into the nature of reality itself.
