Phenomenology

Edmund Husserl is probaly most wellknown as the father of phenomenology. Phenomenology, in Husserl's conception, is primarily concerned with the systematic reflection on and analysis of the structures of consciousness, and the phenomena which appear in acts of consciousness. Such reflection was to take place from a highly modified "first person" viewpoint, studying phenomena not as they appear to "my" consciousness, but to any consciousness whatsoever. Husserl believed that phenomenology could thus provide a firm basis for all human knowledge, including scientific knowledge, and could establish philosophy as a "rigorous science" [3]

The term that Edmund Huserl uses for this 'firm basis for all human knowledge'is: Lifeworld. In other words: In order to find the universal horizon common to all humanity we must be objective. But because we are subjective beings we can't be objective. However, when we compare differend subjective meaning of people we might find a Life world, universal horizon common to all humanity.[4]
