Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that focuses on the study of conscious experiences from the first-person perspective. It seeks to understand how individuals perceive and interpret their experiences, emphasizing the importance of subjective reality. This method was developed by Edmund Husserl in the early 20th century and has influenced various fields, including psychology and sociology. In phenomenology, researchers aim to describe phenomena as they are experienced, without preconceived notions or biases. This involves exploring the meanings and structures of experiences, such as emotions, perceptions, and thoughts. The goal is to gain deeper insights into human consciousness and the essence of experiences.
