Phenomenology is the study of experiences. The phenomenological method is the way to critically look at the natural attitude. By using the phenomenological method one is able to interpret our experiences into brackets. There are three ways to look at this method: epoché, phenomenological reduction and eidetic variation. Epoché refers to the bracketing of assumptions about the metaphysical world. In this approach you suspend all beliefs, opinions, and theories about an object. You parenthesis any beliefs you might hold in order to look at the world in a more objective way. This helps build arguments on strong foundations so that we have certainty about the things in our experience. We can do this by observing the essential features of an object

It is a causal explanation of the mental state in physical terms. Naturalism and phenomenology are quite different from each other. Naturalism argues that sciences are able to explain everything the mind, brain and behavior and they are prior to all other sciences. Phenomenology on the other hand argues that by using the transcendental attitude it is able to see the structures of experience in order to understand essential features. Phenomenology argues to get truths that explain why things are in relation to our …show more content…
The theory of mind explains how intersubjectivity works. It explains how we think about the minds of others. Theory of mind says that your mind is separate from my mind so that you develop this capacity and think about your relation to it. Your able to connect to through analogies. The interactive theory argues that that mind is on an interactive process. That you don't have a mind until social interaction. Such interaction gives you a deeper sense of how you're experiencing the world. For example if an object comes into your world, you think about the object and are aware of it. Husserl refers to this as the apperception other person. In that the experience of the other person which can never be fully known, is still perceived by you. Using the method we can apply phenomenological reduction to it. When looking at objects in our consciousness we perceive objects in a certain way. These objects might never appear to us whole but we are able to see that they are. We are able to phenomenologically reduce these objects in our
