	Phenomenological life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phenomenological life is the life considered from a philosophical and rigorously phenomenological point of view.
		The word "phenomenological" refers to phenomenology, which is the science of the phenomenon and a philosophical method which is reduced to study the phenomena as they appear.
		This life is composed of sensitivity and affectivity, it is the unity of their manifestation, the affectivity being however the essence of the sensibility as Michel Henry has shown it in his book on The Essence of the Manifestation, which means that any sensation is affective by nature.

	Michel Henry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Henry, life is essentially force and affect, it is invisible by essence, it exists within a pure experience of itself which oscillates permanently between suffering and joy, it is an always begun again passage from suffering to joy.
		For Henry, life is not an universal, blind, impersonal and abstract substance, it is necessarily the personal and concrete life of a living individual, it carries in it a consubstantial Ipseity which refers to the fact of being itself, to the fact of being a Self.
		Life loves itself in an infinite love and never stops to generate itself, it never stops to generate each one of us as its beloved son or daughter in the eternal present of the life.

		Phenomenologically, rules are indexical expressions of the interpretive processes applied by members in the course of their interactions.
		Phenomenological work encourages the helpers of the elderly to gain empathic appreciation of their clients’ lifeworlds and enhanced affiliation with them through the use of biographical narratives that highlight their individuality and humanity (Heliker 1997).
		Phenomenological sociology strives to reveal how actors construe themselves, all the while recognizing that they themselves are actors construing their subjects and themselves.

	Husserl's Britanica Article
		Phenomenological experience in the methodical form of the phenomenological reduction is the only genuine "inner experience" in the sense meant by any well-grounded science of psychology.
		If the phenomenological reduction contrived a means of access to the phenomenon of real and also potential inner experience, the method founded in it of "eidetic reduction "provides the means of access to the invariant essential structures of the total sphere of pure mental process.
		Accordingly, the systematic carrying through of this phenomenological psychology seems to comprehend in itself from the outset in [29] foundational (precisely, eidetic) universality the whole of correlation research on being and consciousness; thus it would seem to be the [proper] locus for all transcendental elucidation.

	20th WCP: Understanding of Intersubjectivity and Life in Theodors Celm's Philosophical Works
		However, alongside with the transcendental phenomenological stand I reaches the last (deepest) point of experience and cognition in which I becomes a desinterested observer of his worldly natural I-world and I. This I-worlds is only a part or a layer of the transcendental life.
		Phenomenologist pleads that the life he writes about is not real live life but only phenomenologically purified life, that concrete subjectivity is not actually existing concretedness, but only its phenomenological ideal, etc. Suchlike excuses render phenomenological investigations more complicated and liable to different interpretations.
		The phenomenological sociology in its search for intersubjectivity is close to cultural philosophy, the difference lying in placing the main accent not on the interconnection of cultural and spiritual life but on the existence of a common social world.

	CHAPTER I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Phenomenological social knowledge is not speculation but rather experience as it has been thematized by means of phenomenological notions that describe the constitution of a great variety of events: life-world, phenomenon, meaning, significance, idea, attitude, vision, mentality, mental form and dynamics.
		Life is a forward movement of living form against chaos and towards re-synthesis; life "emerges" from the ocean of chaos by means of its own activity.
		Life is a movement of the preservation and expansion of life, and it possesses a teleological form (the form of entelechia).

		Through phenomenological reduction, it retreats from attitude analysis through the impulse of life, and finally arriving at light, confirming the correspondent relationship between light and life (examining life analogously through the logic of light).
		The assumption that life has two kinds of movement dividing itself between the formal pole and the material pole is nothing but what Alfred N. Whitehead separated in his notion of prehension between the conceptual pole and the physical pole in his metaphysics.
		The former represents the spatial relation of the archetypes of life, and the latter represents the temporality of life.

	Phenomenology Online: Phenomenologies of Environment and Place
		In phenomenological intuiting, therefore, the researcher’s personal efforts, experiences, and insights are the central means for examining the phenomenon under study and arriving at moments of disclosure whereby the phenomenon reveals something about itself in a new or fuller way.
		Unintentionally, this phenomenological assumption that people and world are intimately part and parcel gives environment-behavior research a central place in the human and environmental sciences, since the recognition is that the crucial unit of study is the lived fabric of inescapable connectedness between people and world.
		From a phenomenological perspective, Churchill’s experiment is artificial in the sense that two of the researchers interpreting the lived description did not actually gather it from the respondent, thus they had no sense of the lived context out of which the description arose.

	PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPRECIATION
		It offers a conceptual model that is speculatively based upon certain phenomenological tenets that also encourage individual participants to discuss their own notions and realizations of classroom realities, particularly in their finding ways to encourage such a philosophical perspective to occur, or to share instances where such phenomena happened.
		With this phenomenological framework in hand, along with the aim of providing an optimal class experience for students, it is important that the professor structure a learning environment in which intrinsic levels of motivation are offered to students.
		Phenomenologically applying our conscious deliberation of experiencing life, and, in turn, of life's experiences to improving our understanding about what it means to be more reflectively aware of our lives, promises us the ability to embrace a more deeply attained view.

	Phenomenology
		The phenomenological method is the “method of determining the relationship between stimuli and perception in which the experimenter asks subjects to describe what he or she perceives” (Goldstein, 2002, p.612).
		Phenomenological possibilities are so vast that "any object, event, situation or experience that a person can see, hear, touch, smell, taste, feel, intuit, know, understand, or live through is a legitimate topic for phenomenological investigation" (Seamon, 2000, p.158-159).
		In phenomenological research, subjects are called "respondents" or "co-researchers" because of their particular situation in relation to the phenomenon studied or because they seem more perceptive and better able to articulate their experience.

		Phenomenological researchers hope to gain understanding of the essential "truths" (ie, essences) of the lived experience.
		Examples of phenomenological research include exploring the lived experiences of women undergoing breast biopsy or the lived experiences of family members waiting for a loved one undergoing major surgery.
		One example of phenomenological research in perioperative nursing is examining the lived experiences of women who have undergone a breast biopsy.

	© PSYCHOMEDIA - JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN PSYCHOANALYSIS - Michel Henry - A Conversation with Sergio Benvenuto - The ...
		Following his phenomenological thinking, the author shows how Freudian theory of the unconscious is actually the point of arrival of a long process of European thinking that began with “Cartesian doubt” and with Descartes’ idea that one’s sense of the “I” is the only certainty.
		Therefore the merit of Nietzsche is immense, in as much as he did not give a phenomenological definition of life in terms of representation-that is of the putting things at a distance thanks to which the gaze of observation becomes possible-but rather he gave a definition of phenomenality in terms of feeling, of pathos.
		Life creates values: for Nietzsche there are not values in nature, in objects, but it is life which gives them a value, and so life is the initial principle of evaluations.

	Phenomenology East and West \| Journal \| Husserl: Introduction to Phenomenology
		But it is not yet clear whether phenomenological experience, followed through in exclusiveness and consistency, really provides us with a kind of closed-off field of being, out of which a science can grow which is exclusively focused on it and completely free of everything psychophysical.
		That is to say, in the accomplishment of phenomenological reflection he must inhibit every co-accomplishment of objective positing produced in unreflective consciousness, and therewith [inhibit] every judgmental drawing-in of the world as it "exists" for him straightforwardly.
		Phenomenological philosophy regards itself in its whole method as a pure outcome of methodical intentions which already animated Greek philosophy from its beginnings; above all, however, [it continues] the still vital intentions which reach, in the two lines of rationalism and empiricism, from Descartes through Kant and German ideal-ism into our confused present day.

	Future of Phenomenology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		What is needed is a critical distinction between the transcendental in terms of permanent transcendence of life striving for ontic fulfillment in the world, and the transcendental in terms of reflective grasping of the identity of life and the being of the world evidenced as the life of reason.
		The rudimentary crisis of the unity of life and science compelled Husserl to seek a renewal of rationality, which as transrationality, bridges and overcomes the oblivion of the life-world in the ultimate validity of the scientific criticism of being as evidenced by reason.
		The life fulfillment in critical self-responsibility is thus felt as some sort of “overbearing” of the rational mind bridging the void between life and science.

	"Integrative Science”: The Death-Knell of Scientific Materialism? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		When it is intro-open (the phenomenological is directly available through the structural), the structural approximation is not anymore possible, and this, we believe, is the case for trying to understand mind and consciousness.
		If life is capable of maintaining another “equilibrium of life”, by a process the direction of which is contrary to the one pointing towards the physical equilibrium, then the precondition of life is the ability to survey, to analyse, and to spontaneously, independently and appropriately control all the relevant physical and biological states.
		Thus, indeed, life cannot be traced back to the general effect of the “death magnet” of physical equilibrium and mere blind chance that are the organisation factors available for physics.

		We must be open-minded to the possibility that life has not always taken the form that we currently observe.
		Life, therefore, would appear not to be reducible to coded prescriptive information (instruction) alone.
		Life is also not "a bag of enzymes." "Life" is characterized by ongoing homeostatic metabolic process and algorithmic function, including development, growth, and reproductive potential.

		Different patterns of life in old age appeared depending on the meaning that the participants ascribed to their experiences of quality of life: successful ageing, good old age, a comparatively good life in old age, bad ageing and a miserable life in old age.
		The results showed that the interviewees by means of the central life themes communicated personal and functional meanings that were understood as influencing very old persons' experience of their everyday life in a positive way.

	Patenting Organic Life
		A phenomenological approach to the question of artificially producing and patenting organic life may make more plausible why, on the one hand, this question is possible and legitimate and why, on the other hand, we should not give up the efforts to perceive and draw limits to modern technology.
		Rather is life a field with an own richness of openness that probably the human world does not know about." (10) Heidegger describes this peculiar openness of animal life as a drive ("Trieb") – usually we call it instinct – to loose inhibition and remain basically in a dazed state ("Benommenheit").
		Examples of such changes of ontological perspectives and of their practical consequences are for instance the shift from a metaphysical and theological conception of being into a mathematics-based conception of nature in modernity or the influence of dialectical materialism in the last two centuries.

	Phenomenological Existentialism
		Phenomenology is a research technique that involves the careful description of aspects of human life as they are lived; Existentialism, deriving its insights from phenomenology, is the philosophical attitude that views human life from the inside rather than pretending to understand it from an outside, "objective" point-of-view.
		Phenomenological existentialism, as a philosophy or a psychology, is not a tightly defined system by any means.
		And yet its adherents are relatively easily identified by their emphasis on the importance of individuals and their freedom to participate in their own creation.
