Phenomenology is the study of conscious experience from a first-person perspective, focusing on how people experience things through perception, thought, and other processes. It examines structures of consciousness and the meanings things have in our subjective experience, distinguishing phenomenology from other fields like ontology and epistemology that don't focus on the first-person point of view. Phenomenology studies various aspects of conscious experience including perception, emotion, bodily awareness, social interaction, and temporal and spatial awareness.

1. Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view…. Literally, phenomenology is the study of "phenomena": appearances of things, or things as they appear in our experience, or the ways we experience things, thus the meanings things have in our experience. Phenomenology studies conscious experience as experienced from the subjective or first person point of view. This field of philosophy is then to be distinguished from, and related to, the other main fields of philosophy: ontology (the study of being or what is), epistemology (the study of knowledge), logic (the study of valid reasoning), ethics (the study of right and wrong action), etc. -Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
