10. W hat is phenomenology

11. Phenomenology is a study of the structures of consciousness Bracketing the objects outside of consciousness itself So that one can proceed to reflect on the systematically describe the contents of the conscious mind in terms of their essential structures .

12. Phenomenological Epoche First have to bracket ( or suspend) our natural attitude. Scientific, philosophical, cultural, and everyday assumption -natural attitude masks the true nature of reality It means suspending the truth, claims of our everyday cognitive process

13. Natural attitude This is our prejudices, preconceived notions, biases, clear fixed precise unquestioned explicit knowledge of the object. Only phenomena (the things themselves ) By suspension = setting aside

14. For example What is our natural attitude? A teacher A couple ( Filipina and foreigner ) Our biases and judgement on the motion of love is a many splendored thing. We fail to see the goodness, the beauty, and the a bundance of a person and thing ( Dy , 1986)

15. Phenomenological eidetic reduction (seeing) Is the reduction of phenomenological experience to pure essence . It is about analyzing essence: what makes the thing you’re contemplating what it is

16. How can we arrive at the essence?

17. How can we arrive at the essence? Epoche Bracket our biases and judgement Eidetic reduction Extract the essence by beginning to observe and experience

18. How can we arrive at the essence? (eidetic reduction) Question Can I change their age? Their sex? Their race? Their family background? Their social status

19. How can we arrive at the essence? (eidetic reduction) A man and a woman relationship tomorrow man and man relationship A couple of the same age then tomorrow relationship between an 18 year old man with 90 year old woman What we cannot change? This become the pure essence of love

20. Phenomenological transcendental reduction Is the reduction of the object to the very activity itself of the Act of intending – experience of being conscious of something Intended object –one is conscious consciousness .

21. We now become conscious of the subject, the “I” who must decide on the validity of the object in experience

22. Eidetic reduction We see essence of love Transcendental reduction We reduce the meaning of love to our very experience of it

23. Religious perspective Love maybe seen as the activity of God, the presence of God’s Grace in man ( Dy , 1986)
