fenomenologiakäsitteiden

Fenomenologiakäsitteet refer to the foundational concepts used in phenomenology, a philosophical method that focuses on the structure of experience as experienced from the first-person point of view. The central aim is to understand the nature of consciousness and how phenomena appear to us.

A key concept is intentionality, the idea that consciousness is always directed towards something. When we are conscious, we are conscious *of* something, whether it be an object, an idea, or a feeling. This "of-ness" is intentionality. Another crucial concept is the epoché, often translated as bracketing or suspension. This involves setting aside our natural assumptions and beliefs about the existence of the external world to focus solely on the phenomena as they present themselves to consciousness.

The lifeworld (Lebenswelt) is also a significant concept, referring to the pre-reflective, taken-for-granted world of everyday experience. It is the background of our perceptions and actions, the familiar context within which we live and understand the world. Eidetic reduction is another phenomenological technique, which seeks to identify the essential structures of a phenomenon by considering variations and imagining what could be changed while still remaining the same phenomenon.

Finally, the notion of the noema and noesis are important. Noesis refers to the conscious act of intending, while the noema is the object as it is intended, the meaning or sense of the object for consciousness. These concepts help analyze the relationship between the act of perceiving and the perceived object, emphasizing how objects are always experienced through the lens of our consciousness.
