The history of the phenomenological movement

The origins and informed uses of the terms phenomenography and phenomenology

“…This feature of phenomenology tends to vanish from most accounts made by phenomenographers about phenomenology. The varieties of phenomenology are too many to be exemplified in the space of the present short reflection, interested parties can read informative expos es furnished by Sonnemann (1954), Embree and Mohanty (1997), Schuhmann (2011), McCarthy (2015), De Santis et al (2021 and Renaudie (2021), among others. For the purpose of this short reflection, however, only three trails of phenomenology warrant mention (see a detailed list in Cibangu and Hepworth, 2016, pp.…”

“…Because the city of Mulhouse had changed nationality for a great part of its history since the 14th century, from being Swiss, French and German until it was reincorporated to France since 1918, Lambert tends to be described as a Swiss, German, or French writer, depending on how his birthplace located in France is interpreted. While the concept phenomenology is thought to trace back to Aristotle to Oetinger to Kant, it is credited to have formally started with Husserl (Renaudie, 2021; Schuhmann, 2011). Husserl phenomenology, hereafter phenomenology, is one of the first heads-on and sharpest denunciations of Cartesianistic, positivistic claims of scholarly knowledge and its practice.…”

“…Heidegger initially studied Catholic theology, switched to philosophy after encountering Husserl’s writing, and became his assistant at the University of Freiburg, Germany, in 1919. While acknowledging the influence of Husserl’s way of seeing the world through phenomenology on the development of his own approach, he “remained widely skeptical of the philosophical depth of his master’s doctrine” (Renaudie, 2021, p. 23). Husserl’s call to the things themselves becomes , for Heidegger, a singular to the thing itself , the focus on Being as the ultimate, underlying dimension (Elliott, 2005).…”

“…Heidegger faults Husserl for the “abstract study of the structures of intentional consciousness [instead of returning] to the concrete description of human existence” (Renaudie, 2021, p. 26), but adopts phenomenological principles to focus on Being as the ultimate reality. Leaning on Husserl’s framework, we carry an intuitive awareness of Being, there is an attraction to or interest in Being, and our everyday lives provide opportunity to experience a taste of, though never fully comprehending, the wonder of Being.…”
