Hermeneutic Phenomenology

Hermeneutic phenomenology is a method used in research to understand people's lived experiences and the meanings they assign to them. It involves interpreting personal stories and descriptions to uncover deeper insights about how individuals perceive and make sense of their world. Unlike approaches that simply describe experiences, hermeneutic phenomenology emphasizes understanding context, cultural background, and individual perspectives through careful analysis and reflection. This approach helps researchers grasp the subjective experience in a meaningful way, revealing the richness and complexity of human consciousness and existence.
