Consciousness is a term, used in the approach of Alfred Schütz, but mainly this was adopted from the approach of Edmund Husserl's phenomenological philosophy. He wanted to analyze how the inner life of the individual is, so how the world appears to the individual.
Experience is not simply given, but it is intentional. We see an object only if we are consciously about what it means to us.
Schütz wants to look at why we see things as they are and how does this phenomenology reduction takes place.
