You are an experience machine, everything that has ever happened to you and everything that will ever happen to you is experience. Reflecting on your experience offers a unique insight into the nature of reality and forms the basis for the philosophical methodology of phenomenology. In this episode we explore phenomenology from its inception by Edmund Husserl in the early 20th century, to Martin Heidegger's exploration of being-in-the-world, the embodiment of phenomenology as described by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and its influence on the applied phenomenology of Iris Marion Young's work on femininity.Show notesPhenomenology - Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy Edmund HusserlMartin Heidegger - Being and TimeInterpretive Phenomenological Analysis - Jonathan SmithMaurice Merleau-PontyIris Marion Young - Throwing like a girlThe Here and Now Podcast on FacebookThe Here and Now Podcast on TwitterSend me an emailSupport the show
