Phenomenology - Making the Cut in the Book

Phenomenology is about drawing a distinction between what someone sees or experiences, and what's actually there. The most basic method of Phenomenology is simply to focus on what appears to a particular subject but not to worry at least upfront about what the ultimate object or source of the appearance or phenomenon is. Once we make that cut and focus on the experience and not the question of where it's coming from, we can be more generous in embracing people's strange experiences because they simply are what they are.
