The Living Philosophy
The Living PhilosophyPhenomenology is a school of philosophy that originated in the 20th century. With Edmund Husserl Phenomenology was born but it was the Phenomenology Heidegger innovated that reoriented the course of European philosophy.
The Phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger (whose respective philosophies are called Transcendental Phenomenology and Existential Phenomenology) does not seek after external objective truth—as philosophy and science generally do—phenomenology strives for subjective truth—in Husserl’s case it is an attempt to make a subjective science of consciousness. Husserl developed a method for attaining this truth which involves reducing away the noise so as to isolate the essence of a phenomenon. Heidegger parted from Husserl saying that phenomenology could not be a science with knowledge because the meaning of a phenomenon is context-dependent. Heidegger moves from Husserl’s epistemological project to an ontological program.
There is a growing scholarship looking at the connection between phenomenology and eastern philosophy. It is even said that Heidgger was influenced in his conception of Dasein as being-in-the-world through a German commentator on Taoist philosopher Chuang-tzu.

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMI agree with all of the positive comments. Clear and concise. More, please, on the relationship between phenomenology and Zen Buddhism / Daoism.

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMCheer~~~the doctrine that human knowledge is confined to or founded on the realities or appearances presented to the senses.😊
@hunter_lite
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMHusserl was critical of Being and Time as falling short of a genuine phenomenological approach. Also Heidegger never called himself a phenomenologist.

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMHi there, I haven’t read all the comments so I don’t know if anyone else asked and answered this, but could you possibly make the transcript available because there’s so much I want to quote from your description and explanation. This is really really really helpful! Thank you so much!🎉❤

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMits all too fast for me and too branches and systems for my brain to compute or retain, However im facinated with this Lecture, but more examples would help me.

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMI had a feeling phenomenology was bullshit. Thank you!

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMQue interesante video saludos desde México
@rahulpoet
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMUsually I have to 1.25x the playback speed, but to properly digest your content I had to go 0.75x the playback. Is that really how fast you speak or did you have to speed up for some reason? I love the content, only requesting you to speak a tad slowly.
@MD-lf3gt
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMWhy can’t the commentator speak a little bit slower. Why the hurry?
Well, I’m going to watch this three times because it’s very interesting and gives a lot of information.
@fabaries7613
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMSo helpful. Amazing how much you manage to explain in just a few minutes. Fantastic video. Thanks!
@mengyaoli1927
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMOMG, this is easily the best explanation! You saved me from dropping a course in Phenomenology!
@AYVYN
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMVery well described, and great introduction. I’m impressed! I have been reading Cicero, and some Epicureans also looked to find a perspective beyond rationality and stoicism, disregarded for centuries until Von Neumann and Heisenberg.

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMThank you for this really great and accessible way into understanding phenomenology!
@sogolsweden4210
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMI really want to understand intentionality better! Can you make a video on that?
@dbe274
02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMThank you for the outstanding job of putting phenomenology in a nutshell!

02/27/2025 - 4:09 AMI couldn't stop thinking I was listening to Robert Carlyle. The accent is distracting. 😊
