Phenomenological description is a method of phenomenology that attempts to depict the structure of first person lived experience, rather than theoretically explain it.[1] This method was first conceived of by Edmund Husserl.[2][3] It was developed through the latter work of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Emmanuel Levinas and Maurice Merleau-Ponty — and others. It has also been developed with recent strands of modern psychology and cognitive science.
