    Phenomenology is a philosophical movement focused on structures of consciousness and experience. It was developed in the early 20th century by Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. Husserl established phenomenology to systematically study conscious experience through a method called phenomenological reduction. Heidegger expanded phenomenology to encompass the understanding and experience of Being. Other prominent phenomenologists include Husserl, who sought to establish phenomenology as a foundational science of transcendental consciousness, and Heidegger, who further developed existential phenomenology and viewed it as a metaphysical ontology rather than just a foundational discipline.

    1.Definition of concept (What is Phenomenology?)
    -Phenomenology is a broad discipline and method of
    inquiry in philosophy, developed largely by the German
    philosophers Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger,
    which is based on the premise that reality consists of
    objects and events ("phenomena") as they are perceived
    or understood in the human consciousness, and not of
    anything independent of human consciousness.

    The main characteristics of phenomenology are: It


    describes the meanings of the experiences that have been
    lived by a person or several people with respect to a
    certain concept. It is not interested in the explanation, but
    rather, it is concerned with the essential aspects of the
    lived experience.
    2.Historical Development
    -The term "phenomenology" is derived from the Greek
    "phainomenon", meaning "appearance". Hence it is the study of
    appearances as opposed to reality.The term was first officially
    introduced especially by G. W. F. Hegel in his "Phenomenology of
    Spirit" of 1807.
    Phenomenology is essentially the vision of one man, Edmund Husserl,
    which he launched in his "Logical Investigations" of 1901, although
    credit should also be given to the pioneering work on intentionality (the
    notion that consciousness is always intentional or directed) by Husserl's
    teacher.

    Husserl's formulated his classical Phenomenology first as a kind of


    "Realist Phenomenology" and later as a transcendental and eidetic
    science of consciousness.Husserl concentrated more on the ideal and
    introduced the method of phenomenological reduction specifically to
    eliminate any hypothesis on the existence of external objects.

    Martin Heidegger criticized and expanded Husserl's phenomenological


    inquiry ( in his "Being and Time" of 1927) to encompass our
    understanding and experience of Being itself.Heidegger, then, took
    Phenomenology as a metaphysical ontology rather than as the
    foundational discipline Husserl believed to Heidegger's development of
    Existential Phenomenology.

    3.Prominent Philosophers and their contribution to the school of


    thought.
    -Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl,born on 8 April 1859 in
    Czech Republic was a German philosopher who established the
    school of phenomenology. In his mature work, he sought to
    develop a systematic foundational science based on the so-called
    phenomenological reduction. Arguing that transcendental
    consciousness sets the limits of all possible knowledge, Husserl
    redefined phenomenology as a transcendental-idealist
    philosophy. He thought profoundly influenced 20th-century
    philosophy, and he remains a notable figure in contemporary
    philosophy and beyond.

    Martin Heidegger (pronounced HIE-de-ger) was born on 26


    September 1889 in Messkirch in rural southern Germany.In
    1916, he came to know personally the Phenomenologist
    Edmund Husserl who had joined the Freiburg faculty.He did not
    approve of Husserl's later developments, however,he soon began
    to radically reinterpret his Phenomenology.He expanded
    Husserl's phenomenology theory to help us more understand it's
    real meaning.For him philosophy is not only a scientific
    discipline but is more than that,more than the fundamental of
    science itself.
