Phenomenology

P
 

Phenomenology originated in philosophy and focused on finding meaning in the lived experience. The use of hermeneutics, the processes people use to make sense of the world around them, is a common part of phenomenology. Information should not just be described but interpreted.

Questions phenomenology looks to answer might include:

  • What was the experience like?

  • What does the experience mean?
