Phenomenology |
||
| Phenomenology is a current in
philosophy that takes intuitive experience of phenomena (what
presents itself to us in conscious experience) as its starting point and
tries to extract the essential features of experiences and the
essence
of what we experience. It stems from the
School of Brentano and was mostly based on the work of the
20th century philosopher
Edmund Husserl, and was developed further by
Maurice Merleau-Ponty,
Martin Heidegger,
Max Scheler and
Michel Henry. As such, phenomenological thought influenced the
development of
existential phenomenology and
existentialism in
France,
as is clear from the work of
Jean-Paul Sartre, and
Munich phenomenology (Johannes
Daubert,
Adolf Reinach) in
Germany
