EXISTENTIAL PHENOMENOLOGY
Phenomenology is a research technique that explains human life and provides an insight into how it lived. Derived from Pheno- which means ‘as it appears’ and Menon-meaning ‘science.’ Phenomenology in this perspective is a way in which things can be known as they appear and not as they are viewed, therefore, not based on theories but based on oneself, observations, and lived experiences. This is the scientific method of existentialism.
Existential is the study of philosophy from the point of being a human being. It captures the subjective position by emphasizing on what it means to be human and what makes an individual. Who they are, for example, values, norms, and practices; therefore, existential views humans from the inside rather than from the outside view of what is known to be. Thus emphasizing that a human being is not an object to which people study as an individual is fully capable of controlling his/her life and can make individual choices.
Existential Phenomenology is therefore concluded as an understanding of the human existence, in a radical point of view and the experiences and actions of a human being.
