Deep dives
Understanding Phenomenology
Phenomenology is interested in the living reality, the givenness of experience. It focuses on the phenomenon itself and the category of lived experience. Edmund Husserl's imperative to go back to the things in themselves highlights the need to suspend interpretations and concepts to gain more insight into reality.
