Ilmiöissäkielessä

Ilmiöissäkielessä is a Finnish term that translates to "in the language of phenomena." It refers to a conceptual approach or a way of understanding and describing things by focusing on their observable characteristics and how they manifest. This perspective emphasizes the experiential and perceptual aspects of reality rather than abstract theories or underlying causes.

When discussing phenomena in this way, the focus is on what can be directly perceived or experienced. This includes sensory input such as sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures, as well as internal experiences like emotions and thoughts. The goal is to capture the essence of an event, object, or situation as it presents itself to an observer. This approach can be particularly useful in fields like phenomenology, psychology, and certain artistic disciplines where subjective experience is paramount.

Ilmiöissäkielessä encourages a descriptive and often empathetic understanding. Instead of immediately categorizing or explaining, one first aims to describe the phenomenon as it appears. This can lead to a richer and more nuanced appreciation of the subject matter. It implies a certain humility, acknowledging the limitations of pre-existing frameworks and prioritizing genuine observation. The "language of phenomena" is thus about articulating these direct observations and experiences in a way that others can also relate to and understand.
