Phenomenology is the study of “phenomena”: appearances of things, or things as they appear in our experience, or the ways we experience things, or the meanings things have in our experience. Phenomenology studies conscious experience as experienced from the first person point of view, the primary objective is the direct investigation and description of phenomena as consciously experienced, without theories about their causal explanation and as free as possible from unexamined preconceptions and presuppositions.
Simply put, Phenomenology is a philosophy of experience, for example, the object of fear when dealing with what it means to be afraid. -

Okay if that's the case surely you are doomed to have an eternal debate about qualia. As an aside, i know what "phenomenology" means, and i don't recall asking for a slightly more verbose dictionary definition of it.
But then again i was just trying to be an annoying little shit for no reason, so you are under no obligation to provide an answer. -

These may be considered the building blocks of conscious experience or the essential mental states corresponding to experiences.
Many philosophers have argued that qualia cannot be identified with or reduced to anything physical, and that any attempted explanation of the world in solely physicalist terms would leave qualia out…… -

Many hard materialists have argued we're just complicated meat sacks, and that qualia is an emergent phenomena and doesn't transcend shit. But that answer is unsatisfactory to me. -

Phenomenology is concerned with providing a direct description of human experience. Perception is the background of experience which guides every conscious action. The world is a field for perception, and human consciousness assigns meaning to the world. We cannot separate ourselves from our perceptions of the world. -

It rests on the idea that someone who has complete physical knowledge about another conscious being might yet lack knowledge about how it feels to have the experiences of that being. These may be considered the building blocks of conscious experience. -
2022-06-25 at 1:49 PM UTCSure, but what can i know then outside of human experience? For this is all i know: Cogito Ergo Sum. Or maybe we should amend that sentiment to say "I experience therefore i am".The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2022-06-25 at 1:58 PM UTCWe perceive the world from a view that is the sum of our self acknowledged experiences, our beliefs and the constant barrage of inputs we receive all around us.
It would be nice to think that experience guarantees wisdom and longevity only hones this further, but that isn't the case. We choose to flat out ignore experiences we don't like or choose not to believe in. We often define ourselves from a basis of beliefs that are not based on actual experiences at all.
The human mind is a brilliant tool with a shared footing in reality and imagination. Selectively we are the sum of our experiences, where convenient and in agreement with our beliefs.

2022-06-26 at 12:41 AM UTCThe Complete Marquis de Sade
I recently forced myself to finish this book
I thought it was simply the story of an orphan girl who suffered abuse. Boy was I was wrong
More than once I felt disgusted yet nonetheless I could not stop reading because of how attached I had become with Justine. I wanted to know how her story would end.
Has anyone read this book?
If yes I’m curious if you felt the marquis truly a sick man who enjoyed torture, or a genius who wrote in protest of a corrupt society? -
