Abstract

Phenomenological Research Methods: Extensions of Husserl and Heidegger

Effie Heotis*

The relevance to understanding the lived experience and consciousness is the focus of a movement that began in the early part of the 20^th Century. Phenomenology is a movement that explores the lived experience of a given phenomenon. Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger were two of the most prominent philosophers who spearheaded this movement and subsequently, they developed their own distinct philosophical approaches and methods of inquiry as means to exploring and understanding the human experience. Various and more distinctive psychological research approaches emerged in other disciplines from the philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger, and the researchers who developed these methods contribute to expanding repertoires aimed at understanding of the human experience.
