Essay and short questions: Mandatory assignment
Question 1: Name TWO philosophers who were associated with
Phenomenology
(Refer to pages 62-63 of Philosophy in Education Today: An Introduction) (4)
Two philosophers associated with Phenomenology are Edmund Husserl and
Martin Heidegger.
Reference:
Graham Haydon, Philosophy in Education Today: An Introduction (New York:
Continuum, 2011), 62-63.
Question 2: Identify FIVE characteristics of Phenomenology
(Refer to pages 64 of Philosophy in Education Today: An Introduction) (10)
1. First-person perspective and subjective experience: Phenomenology focuses on
the individual's personal experience and subjective interpretation of the world
(Husserl, 1913). It seeks to understand how individuals experience and perceive
phenomena, rather than objective facts or external reality (Heidegger, 1927).
2. Suspension of preconceptions: Phenomenologists aim to bracket or suspend
their preconceived notions and prejudices to gain a more authentic
understanding of phenomena (Husserl, 1913). This process, called epoché, allows
researchers to approach phenomena with an open mind and minimize biases
(Merleau-Ponty, 1945).
3. Essential structures of human experience: Phenomenology seeks to uncover
the fundamental structures and essences of human experience, such as
consciousness, intentionality, and temporality (Husserl, 1913). By examining these
essential structures, phenomenologists can gain insights into the nature of human
existence (Heidegger, 1927).
