Phenomenologists generally recognize that what is being discussed is not raw sense data, but experiences of sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, and feeling filtered through the interpretive grids we all use to make sense of the world we perceive.
Phenomenologists have as a goal the maintenance of a descriptive outlook in gathering, sifting, comparing, and analyzing the data of their studies.
In this metaphor, the intention is that of dynamic equivalence rather than wooden literalism, and the phenomenologist has the task of faithfully representing the experience of the devotee in the idiom of the phenomenologist's audience.

 Intentionality and Prehension
It is my contention that both the existential phenomenologists and Whitehead have gone "beyond skepticism and realism" in a much more satisfactory way than Laszlo with his "complementarity" theory, which, although brilliant, seems contrived and artificial in many respects.
Modern phenomenologists, Whitehead, and Leibniz all agree on one essential point: since res cogitans does not appear among the contents of consciousness, it is therefore an illegitimate metaphysical construct.
Phenomenologists maintain that experience is already pregnant with form, and this form is the meaning of things, not the meaning of a conceptual order (cf.

 Ethics and Phenomenology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Thus, phenomenologists and existentialists would be medically, pharmaceutically, or biologically excarnating wonder or awe from the lived world, even if they refute positivism and analytics' portrayal of awe or wonder as wrong and insist on wonder or awe as revealing reality.
The phenomenologist or existentialist becomes a biochemical phenomenologist or existentialist, totally reducing the chemistry of the brain, body, and lived world to atoms and chemical reactions.

Phenomenologists don't ask: "What does the social world mean to me the observer?" Instead they ask: "How did I, the observer, contribute to the creation of this meaning?" (Davis 121).
According also to phenomenologists, the meaning of things is not inherent in objects, but is actually located in the individual's inner life (Davis 121).
Phenomenologists believe a work has a life of its own, which is re-lived in every reading.

 About Phenomenology
Phenomenologists tend to hold that inquiry ought to focus upon what might be called "encountering" as it is directed at objects and, correlatively, upon "objects as they are encountered" (this terminology is not widely shared, but the emphasis on a dual problematics and the reflective approach it requires is);
Phenomenologists tend to recognise the role of description in universal, a priori, or "eidetic" terms as prior to explanation by means of causes, purposes, or grounds; and
Phenomenologists tend to debate whether or not what Husserl calls the transcendental phenomenological epochê and reduction is useful or even possible.

 Julian Kiverstein (University of Edinburgh)
Naturalists, for there part, would attack phenomenologists by arguing that there is no external vantage point, outside of knowledge, from which we can identify the conditions that make knowledge possible.
Phenomenologists would counter that the naturalist philosopher continues to presuppose what needs to be explained.
However the phenomenologist remains vulnerable to the objection that no sense can be made of the non-empirical or transcendental standpoint we are asked to take up if we are to account for knowledge.

After the collapse of the communist regimes we had to deal with the rise of ethnocentric and nationalist ideas, on the one hand, and the lack of a true reflection on democracy and its related theoretical problems, on the other hand.
That is why a topic such as "Person, Community, and Identity" was able to mobilize a large number of phenomenologists from CEE countries and elsewhere.

 20th WCP: Human Life And World: On the Insufficency of the Phenomemological Concept of the Life-World
I shall briefly examine first the way transcendental and then existential phenomenologists understand the meaning of "world" or "life-world" and how the "world" is to be experienced as such, and I shall critique the views of each in turn.
The presence in human experience of the world as a whole, a concrete totality, is treated by the existential phenomenologists as a problem which cannot be solved by any approach which objectifies the world, that is, which would treat the world itself as a perceived or perceiveable object.
For these existential phenomenologists human life is co-existing, is the correlative existence of living beings and the others which comprise their surrounding world.

Polish phenomenologists from the generation of Ingarden's students are more or less "Ingardenists." This resulted from the authority of Ingarden and from significant inaccessibility of foreign books in Poland.
Many of the leading phenomenologists in France as well as Germany (Jean-Paul Sartre, Gabriel Marcel, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger) were known in Poland as existentialists rather than phenomenologists, since the term "existential phenomenology" was not commonly used in Poland until recently.

Rather, we are asking all interested individual phenomenologists to look the preliminary list over and then send more titles of additional books that are of comparable quality.

Recent years have seen exciting developments both in string theory (M-theory unification, string duality, brane physics, new insights into strongly coupled gauge theories and quantum gravity, etc.) and in other aspects of particle physics and gravity theory(large extra dimensions, warped extra dimensions, localized gravity, brane worlds, novel constructions of four-dimensional string solutions,etc.).
String theorists, model builders, phenomenologists, gravity theorists, cosmologists, and experimentalists have engaged in a fruitful dialog, and there is a tremendous intellectual vibrancy in the field as a whole.
The workshop will provide a focused setting to stimulate even more active collaboration and exchange of ideas between theory communities, and to attack the fundamental mysteries of particle physics involving naturalness, hierarchies, flavor, unification, and gravity.

 To Systematize or not to Systematize: Philosophy at a Catholic University
The philosophy of St. Thomas has certainly been the loyal handmaid of the Church for ages, and, it may well appear that the Phenomenologists are irresponsibly and improperly disregarding him.
Thus, Phenomenologists argue, they are not attempting to dispose of or replace St. Thomas, but only to study his thought in a more philosophical manner--for it is not legitimate, philosophically, to accept unquestioningly the premises of any philosopher, however great he may be.
Among Phenomenologists can be named such great thinkers as Max Scheler--whose moral philosophy influenced the thought of John Paul II--and Dietrich von Hildebrand, who is considered by many a twentieth-century Doctor of the Church.

 TallSkinnyKiwi: Philosophers or Phenomenologists?
One of the best phenomenologists I have been reading is Jean Luc Marion, a French intellectual who believes in Christ.
Marion builds on previous work by Heidegger and Hurssel, argues their limitations, and takes the discipline into a new place where revelation can be discussed from another angle.
Now if you want to remain in the realm of philosophy it could be that the positivist school could be placed in opposition to the phenomenologists.

I was also arguing against phenomenologists, since it's a field that has generally stayed away from moral philosophy.

This course considers the question, "What is the mind?" After initially considering a philosophical approach to this question as exemplified by Descartes, the course will consider the mind from divergent viewpoints within neuroscience and psychology.
The reductionistic, mechanistic view, in which the mind is considered to be nothing more than the workings of the brain, will be contrasted with the classic theories of Freud and the Phenomenologists.
These psychological theories present a holistic view of human consciousness, proposing that the mind is more than a collection of neurons.

Or rather, we are all born phenomenologists; the poets and painters among us, however, are capable of conveying their views to others, a procedure also attempted laboriously, by the professional phenomenologist.
From Van den Berg's curriculum vitae, we note that he started his occupational life as a teacher, then studies medicine, decided to specialize in psychiatry, became a phenomenologist during his psychiatric training, trained as a psychotherapist and eventually became a pioneer of the metabletic method.
As far as psychiatric work was concerned, the Germans saw delusion as the core symptom of psychosis, whereas for the French it was the hallucination.
