Existential Phenomenology
Existential Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that combines elements of existentialism and phenomenology. It focuses on individual experience and the meaning of existence, emphasizing how people perceive and interpret their lives. This approach seeks to understand the essence of human experiences, often exploring themes like freedom, choice, and authenticity.
Key figures in this field include Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who examined how consciousness interacts with the world. By prioritizing subjective experience, Existential Phenomenology aims to uncover the underlying structures of human existence, providing insights into how individuals navigate their realities and find meaning in their lives.
