Phenomenology as a philosophy and a method of inquiry is not limited to an approach
to knowing, it is rather an intellectual engagement in interpretations and meaning
making that is used to understand the lived world of human beings at a conscious
level. Historically, Husserl’ (1913/1962) perspective of phenomenology is a science
of understanding human beings at a deeper level by gazing at the phenomenon.
However, Heideggerian view of interpretive-hermeneutic phenomenology gives
wider meaning to the lived experiences under study. Using this approach, a
researcher uses bracketing as a taken for granted assumption in describing the
natural way of appearance of phenomena to gain insights into lived experiences and
interpret for meaning making. The data collection and analysis takes place side by
side to illumine the specific experience to identify the phenomena that is perceived
by the actors in a particular situation. The outcomes of a phenomenological study
broadens the mind, improves the ways of thinking to see a phenomenon, and it
enables to see ahead and define researchers’ posture through intentional study of
lived experiences. However, the subjectivity and personal knowledge in perceiving
and interpreting it from the research participant’s point of view has been central in
phenomenological studies. To achieve such an objective, phenomenology could be
used extensively in social sciences.
