What is phenomenology?
Phenomenology is a philosophical movement during the 20th century that studies reality as subjectively experienced.
Etymologically, it comes from the Greek word phainómenon, which means “that which appears”, and lόgos, or “study”.
Hence, phenomenology is generally defined as the science of phenomenon or that which appears.
More specifically, it seeks to investigate the universal features of consciousness while avoiding assumptions about the external world, aiming to describe phenomena as they appear to the subject, and to explore the meaning and significance of the lived experiences.
In this video, we will talk about what phenomenology is, its history, as well as some of its key concepts.

02/19/2025 - 4:13 PMFrom this short video,, I can see I would like Husserl's ideas,, As support for my studies in Plato and CG Jung.. CG Jung is really my main mentor,, although i take issues with some of his essay's/ideas.. ,,,,,I am one of CG's worlds biggest supporters but also the world's most outspoken critic of some of his statements/essays.. This includes his letters vol 1 and vol 2. = CG would not invite me to his lectures,,CG and I are likes and opposities, whereas CG did not like much critical assement of anything he said,, vs myself,, If all you do is agree with me,, I do not want you around me. So in this sense CG and I are contraries. However make damn sure your critiques hold water.

02/19/2025 - 4:13 PMGreat way in as I was struggling to read Husserl, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty cold, without some basic background. This helped begin to unpack their philosophy a lot – thank you!

02/19/2025 - 4:13 PMWow, this video really helped me understand what phenomenology is all about! I've always been intrigued by the idea of studying reality subjectively, and this philosophical movement seems to dive deep into that. The way the video explained it in simple terms made it so much easier to grasp. Definitely going to watch more of these enlightening videos! Thank you!
