PHENOMENOLOGY AND EXISTENTIALISM
- Phenomenology claims that every
‘consciousness is the consciousness of
something,’ and you will have to get to
many steps to get to the essence of things.
- Phenomenology is trying to make us see
every phenomenon or object in a true and
purified meaning. The natural world is a rich
ground to investigate things in their physical
nature.
- Rene Descartes, the most important thing
about existence is to give importance to the
things that in your mind perceives because it
proves your existence.
- Edmund Husseri follows this line of
thinking. Even if objects are in longer
present, you can always play up its existence
in your mind.
- There are “intellectual sediments” that seem
not to change over time, and these form a
kind of
- Phenomenology invites you to think again.
2 COGNITIVE ATTITUDES THAT WE
USUALLY EMPLOY:
the right rigor and discipline and diligence.
Anyone can know the truth themselves.
Existential PHENO
- Adding the term existential to
phenomenological, however, makes our
investigation of truth shift from looking at
knowledge
- It is therefore the design to make us see what
every existing thing means to someone who
experiences it by trough.
- This is the reason why Jean-Paul Sartre, a
respected existentialist proclaimed:
“Existence exceeds presence”.
- An existentialist believes that..
- As the existentialist would take it, means
that I create meaning or myself. That “I”
creates one for himself too.
- I ask about what is the world, but in so doing
I must not forget that I am in it, involved in
it. And help create that same world I am
investigating.
- As a theory, existential phenomenology
Makes us appreciate the myriad of meanings
that people attribute to their experience
daily.

- NATURAL ATTITUDE – when we are

comfortable with the things that we already
know.
- TRANSCENDENTAL ATTITUDE – when
we try our best to direct our consciousness
to investigate the essence of every
phenomenon.
- In all of these, we are trying to use our inner
sensibility, trying to understand that there is
something more to what we see and know,
that in our exhaustive effort to think, we can
arrive at the truth of every phenomenon, or
simply put, in every experience of object
(anything seen, physically or mentally),
because we are subjects (we are human
being conscious of what is going on)
ourselves.
- This is the meaning of the favorite phrase of
the phenomenologist:, ‘consciousness
