Phenomenology (philosophy)

Phenomenology is a type of philosophy that looks at people's experiences and responses to the world. It's like a way of looking at the world by paying attention to how we experience it and what it feels like to be alive. People who study phenomenology try to understand not only what things look or sound like, but also how they feel and what they mean to us. Phenomenologists are interested in understanding the world through our experiences and emotions, instead of just facts.
