As the introduction to this entry of the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy explains, "phenomenology" is a movement in 20th century philosophy that takes as its central concern the experiencing subject. It is most fundamentally concerned, therefore, not with statement about an "objective" world, but with the subjective experiencing of that world. On this page of the IEP, a peer-reviewed academic resource, readers will find clarifying chapters on such topics as the Phenomenological Method, Intentionality, the Phenomenology of Perception, Phenomenology and the Self, and Phenomenology of Time-Consciousness. Along the way, readers will be introduced to phenomenological thinkers like Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others. Indeed, for readers who love the careful examination of experience and the rigorous methods of 20th century continental philosophy, this page is a must read.
