phenomenological reduction

phenomenological reduction as ''wonder' before the world' (PhP, lxxvii).

is aimed at giving verbal expression to mental events as they appear to consciousness independent of uncritical commitment to the existence of other people, places, objects, causality, etc.

Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenomenological Philosophy (1913) and Cartesian Meditations (1931)1 he performs his phenomenological reduction in order to give verbal expression to mental events as they appear to consciousness, independent of an everyday, uncritical commitment to the existence of other people, places, physical objects, causality, etc. (Cazeaux 2000 : 66)

is impossible to do all the way but we can relax the ties that bind us to thing so that the sheer strangeness of the world becomes more apparent.

a complete reduction, Merleau-Ponty says, is impossible (ibid.). But we can relax the ties which bind us to things in our practical dealings with them, so that the sheer strangeness of the world becomes more apparent. (matthews 2006)

is not merely a 'technique' but the definitive event in the history of man.

Viewed from such a perspective, Husserl's 'phenomenological reduction' is no new philosophical 'technique,' but is the definitive event in the history of man. Man emerges only through the event whereby reality is 'de-realized,' and phenomenology is nothing but the express attempt to explicate that event. To return to Heidegger's terminology, phenomenology is the world. (Seeburger 1975 : 216)

is an attitude whereby the world continues to appear the way it used to appear, it is not interrupted, but now it is a 'bracketed' world, a mere phenomenon.

The world continues to appear the way it used to appear... life in the world is not interrupted. But the world is now a 'bracketed' world, a mere phenomenon, specifically a phenomenon whose validity is that of the stream of experience, of consciousness at all, although this consciousness is now transcendentally reduced. World, in the sense of this universal phenomenon of validity, is obviously inseparable from transcendental consciousness. (Husserl 1931 : 6)

is that which reveals to us the primary subject matter of phenomenology the world as given and the givenness of the world... both objects and acts of consciousness.

The reduction, then, is that which reveals to us the primary subject matter of phenomenology the world as given and the givenness of the world... both objects and acts of consciousness. (internet encylopedia: Phenomenology)

is the method for leading phenomenological vision from the natural attitude and the apprehension of being (i.e. Life as it is involved in the world of things and persons) back to the transcendental life of consciousness and the understanding of the being of this being.

For Husserl, phenomenological reduction is the method of leading phenomenological vision from the natural attitude of the human being whose life is involved in the world of things and persons back to the transcendental life of consciousness . For us phenomenological reduction means leading phenomenological vision back from the apprehension of a being to the understanding of the being of this being. (Heidegger 1982, 21) (stanford:phen)
