It is in overall concerned with the study of structures and systematic reflection with the phenomena appearing in consciousness acts. Phenomenology as a historical movement involves a philosophical tradition which edmund. Husserl founded during the first half of the 20th century (lewis & staehler, 2010). The historical movement prized phenomenology as a proper foundation for all forms of philosophy and forms the central tradition of the continental european philosophy. Phenomenology studies various types of experience structurally including memory, thoughts, emotion, imagination, and volition to the bodily awareness, desire, social activities such as linguistic activity and embodied actions. The structure of the experience forms evolve typically through a directness of experience towards the property of consciousness. Phenomenology helps in some significant background conditions of human experience.
