Phenomenological Reduction

Captions available

The idea

Phenomenological reduction is the intellectual process — reflection, imagination and intuition — by which the essence of an experience is reached.

In practice

An analyst working from many descriptions toward what is common to the experience.

Where people slip

Intuition is named as part of the method here. That is a feature of the tradition and is why its reporting standards emphasise transparency.
