I. CONCEPT NOTES

Phenomenology as a Method is a method in which the relation

between the investigator and the investigated object
is considered to
belong essentially to the object itself.
Phenomenology attempts to go back to the phenomenon, to that
which presents itself to man,
to see things as they really are, independent of any prejudice.
Thus phenomenology is the “Logos of the Phenomenon”.
In cases where the object of investigation is Human Being,
phenomenology becomes the Method in which all relevant
items of research are exclusively considered only with regard
to the totality
of Human Being.
