Phenomenology
Edmund Husserl is a German philosopher known as the "father of the philosophical movement known as phenomenology"(Sawicki, Marianne). Phenomenology originated in the 20th century and was developed by Husserl as an alternative to idealism and realism, which he considered flawed modes of inquiry into reality. “Phenomenology can be roughly described as the sustained attempt to describe experiences (and the “things themselves”) without metaphysical and theoretical speculations”(Sawicki, Marianne). -

All philosophical systems, scientific theories, or aesthetic judgments have the status of abstractions from the ebb and flow of the lived world."(Armstrong, Paul). It examines the organization and characteristics of diverse forms of human experience. -

Husserl’s phenomenology critiqued psychologism and naturalism in his “first phenomenological work was published in two volumes, titled Logical Investigations.”(Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). Logical investigations laid the foundation for phenomenology, a philosophical method to describe and analyze human experience. Husserl's work in this book set the stage for the development of phenomenology as a distinct intellectual discipline, influencing future generations of philosophers. -
