Husserl’s Methodology: Phenomenological Reduction and Eidetic Variation
摘要
This chapter explores the application of phenomenology, particularly in the context of kinaesthetic research, in accordance with the basic principles of Husserl’s phenomenological reduction. The text distinguishes between transcendental phenomenology, which investigates consciousness through a radical suspension of all assumptions about the world, and phenomenological psychology, which examines phenomena from multiple subjectivities without privileging the ego. It also discusses the application of phenomenology in danceDance studies, illustrating how scholars such as Behnke, Pakes and Sheets-Johnstone have used this method to investigate kinaesthesis and movement. These contributions reveal the contrasts between transcendental and psychological approaches and highlight the diverse ways in which phenomenology can inform the understanding of human experience, particularly in the study of embodied practices such as danceDance.
