Phenomenological

/fəˌnɑmənoʊˈlɑdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the study of consciousness and experience as experienced from the first-person perspective. Focuses on how things appear to individuals rather than objective reality.

Etymology

From Greek 'phainomenon' (that which appears) and 'logos' (study). Developed by German philosopher Edmund Husserl in the early 1900s to describe studying 'phenomena' - things as they present themselves to consciousness, separate from assumptions about their objective existence.

Kelly Says

This approach asks 'What is it like to BE someone experiencing this?' rather than 'What actually happened?' It's the difference between studying the rainbow you see versus the physics of light refraction - both valid, but phenomenology cares about your rainbow experience!
