Phenomenology in Philosophy is a broad discipline and method of inquiry. It developed by the German philosophers Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, which is based on the premise that reality consists of objects and understood in the human consciousness, and not of anything independent of human consciousness. Although phenomenology seeks to be scientific, it does not attempt to study consciousness from the perspective of clinical psychology or neurology. Instead, it seeks through systematic reflection to determine the essential properties and structures of experience.
