    Hermeneutical Phenomenology

    Romzy Basañes
    Hermeneutical phenomenology aims to illuminate details within human experience that are often taken for granted. It was developed by Martin Heidegger as an alternative to Edmund Husserl's phenomenology. Key aspects include interpreting experiences and texts through a hermeneutic cycle of understanding. Major proponents who expanded on hermeneutic phenomenology include Hans-Georg Gadamer, who explored the role of language and tradition in understanding, and Paul Ricoeur, who examined how meanings are mediated through culture. While allowing for wide application, hermeneutic phenomenology can be informal and subjective due to relying on the researcher's perspective.

    Hermeneutical

    Phenomenology
    Definition
    • Is a research concerned with the life world
    or human experience as it is lived, focusing
    on illuminating details and seemingly
    trivial aspects within experience that may
    be taken for granted in our lives, with a
    goal of creating meaning and achieving a
    sense of understanding. (Laverty, 2003)
    History
    • Hermeneutical Phenomenology was given concept
    by Martin Heidegger because of his disapproval of
    the “Phenomenology” proposed by Edmund Husserl.
    Although Husserl saw Heidegger as someone who
    will follow his footsteps he changed the idea
    (Laverty, 2003).
    • His concept was supported and improved by his
    student, Hans Georg – Gadamer, which was in his
    book, “Truth and Method” and also Paul Ricoeur
    which agreed that the variation of culture affects the
    interpretation of a certain individual (Manen, 2011)
    Key Concepts
    Interpret
    • Hermeneutics simply means to interpret
    (Palmer, 1969) it also promotes human
    potential for understanding the meaning
    of language and to expand the possibilities
    of human mind.
    Hermeneutic Cycle
    • This starts when a text changes into a
    spoken language that is a mere expression
    of oneself and then it is being interpreted
    through; listening, observing, testing,
    judging, challenging, reflecting, and
    looking. (Regan, 2012)
    Proponents
    Martin Heidegger (1889-1976)
    • Argues that all description is always already
    interpretation. Every form of human awareness
    is interpretive. Especially in Heidegger’s later
    work he increasingly introduces poetry and art
    as expressive works for interpreting the nature
    of truth, language, thinking, dwelling, and being.
    (Manen, 2011)
    Hans Georg – Gadamer (1900-2002
    • Continued the development of a hermeneutic
    phenomenology, especially in his famous work
    Truth and Method. In it, he carefully explores the
    role of language, the nature of questioning, the
    phenomenology of human conversation, and the
    significance of prejudice, historicality and
    tradition in the project of human understanding.
    (Manen, 2011)
    Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005)
    • Also studied Husserl’s Phenomenology, and he too does not
    subscribe to the transparency reflective cognito of Husserl. He
    argues that meanings are not given directly to us, and that we
    must therefore make a hermeneutic detour through the
    symbolic apparatus of the culture. Ricoeur’s hermeneutic
    phenomenology examines how human meanings are
    deposited and mediated through myth, religion, art, and
    language. He elaborates especially on the narrative function of
    language, on the various uses of language such as storytelling,
    and how narrativity and temporality interact and ultimately
    return to the question of the meaning of being, the self and
    self-identity. (Manen, 2011)
    Strengths
    • It is complex (Slowan and Bowe, 2014) and
    it allows more applications to the
    approach to provide wider understanding
    on many scenarios.
    • It engages, which makes it easier to
    understand different scenarios.
    Weaknesses
    • It is informal because it is only
    through the view of the researcher,
    making it subjective. (Slowan and
    Bowe, 2014)
    • It does not develop explanations of
    analyses. (Cresswell, 2007)
