The Phenomenology of Consciousness

The phenomenology of consciousness explores how we experience and perceive the world from our own perspective. It studies the subjective feelings, thoughts, and sensations that shape our awareness—how things appear to us in our mind's eye. This field seeks to understand the nature of conscious experience, including sensations, emotions, and self-awareness, emphasizing that these perceptions are uniquely personal. By examining these inner experiences, phenomenology aims to uncover the structure of consciousness itself, providing insight into how we interpret and give meaning to what we perceive around us and within us.
