Phenomenology (psychology) Phenomenology is the study of subjective experience. It is an approach to psychological subject matter that has its roots in the philosophical work of Edmund Husserl. Early phenomenologists such as Husserl, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty conducted philosophical investigations of consciousness in the early 20th century.
Consciousness is existence in and toward the world through the body. While Husserlâs phenomenology is oriented to transcendental essences, Merleau-Pontyâs phenomenology is existential, oriented to lived experience, the embodied human being in the concrete world.n his last work The Crisis of the European Sciences (1936), Husserl had already turned phenomenological analysis away from the transcendental ego and consciousness, to the prereflective lifeworld of everyday experience.
