Perception Clouds Understanding

Examining how human consciousness filters our experiences reveals the potential distortions in our perception of reality. Phenomenology aims to dissect this subjective lens, suggesting that our familiarity with daily life may obscure a clearer understanding of the world around us. It argues that true objectivity cannot be reached without deeply understanding the ways our subjective experiences shape our thoughts and perceptions. Philosophers have long sought certainty from an external viewpoint, but this approach overlooks the inherent biases of human experience, emphasizing the need to explore these biases for a deeper comprehension of existence.
