What exactly is the phenomenological method?

Question

I've read plenty about phenomenology, but no one explains what exactly the method of phenomenology is. Given that Raymond Aron told Sartre that using phenomenology one can philosophize about a drink - how exactly does one do that? If nothing else, does anyone know some online sources that explains exactly what the phenomenological method is?

Answer 1

When you know and you know you know

regardless of wether you know how or why you know.

Ob1 the phenomnenknowing of phenomenology

Answer 2

Perhaps a better expression is method phenomenological because 'method' for knowing is not all understood as a phenomena of mind. However my general understanding is that a phenomena is activity unseen of which we see its appearant symptom or product. A phenomena of mind is its logical process, that we see the product logic but not the activity that formed it, determining its syntax, diction, subjects, variables (or abstracts), rules for negation and valid posit, etc.. The method phenomenological seeks to present the Logic for its self: Logic as its own subject.

"1. Our ordinary Knowing has before itself only the object which it knows, but does not at first make an object of itself, i.e., of the Knowing. But the whole which is extant in the act of knowing is not the object alone, but also the Ego that knows, and the relation of the Ego and the object to each other, i.e. Consciousness. "
