A Toolbox of Phenomenological Methods 37 ‘Phenomenology’ is, in the twentieth century, mainly the name for a philosophical movement whose 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 (Spiegelberg 1975, 3). Nota bene, Spiegelberg speaks of a movement, not a school, or a method. Phenomenology is not monolithic, as we will see in due course.
Phenomenological insights (concepts, distinctions) developed in separate phenomenological analyses, or in neurophenomenological experiments, are used to inform the design of experiments. To front load phenomenology, however, does not mean to simply presuppose phenomenological results obtained by others. Rather it involves testing those results and more generally a dialectical exchange between phenomenological insights and preliminary trials that will specify or extend these insights for purposes of the particular experiment or empirical investigation.
