About

Phenomenology is the philosophical tradition and research methodology focused on the systematic study of consciousness and the structure of lived experience as it appears to the individual, independent of objective reality. It investigates the essence of phenomena directly accessible through conscious awareness. This approach is characterized by techniques such as the epoche (bracketing) to suspend assumptions about the external world, aiming to reveal the fundamental structures of consciousness, intentionality, and the relationship between subject and object. Its significance lies in offering profound insights into the subjective dimension of human existence, informing diverse fields from philosophy and psychology to social sciences and qualitative research.
