15 credits, Level 5

Spring teaching

Phenomenology is a philosophical tradition that began in the 20th century with thinkers like Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It is also a method focused on describing and analysing conscious experience.

In this module, we examine claims about the methodology of phenomenology and explore topics that have been central to phenomenology, which may include: perception, time-consciousness, the lived body, moods and intersubjectivity.
