Phenomenology is the study of phenomena. Phenomena are experiences or appearances. Phenomenology studies how people experience things and includes people's perceptions of things, their thoughts and memories, and even their emotions.
Phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, and structuralism are often regarded as components of continental philosophy.
The five main schools of philosophy are analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, pragmatism, existentialism, and phenomenology. Each school offers different perspectives and methods for understanding the nature of reality, knowledge, and existence.
Phenomenology is the branch of philosophy that emphasizes the restructuring of experiences by examining how we construct meaning and interpret the world around us through our subjective consciousness. Key thinkers in this field include Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger.
One recommended comprehensive phenomenology book for beginners is "Phenomenology of Perception" by Maurice Merleau-Ponty. This book provides a clear introduction to the key concepts and ideas of phenomenology, making it accessible for those new to the subject.
