This document discusses the relationship between philosophy, psychology, and science. It explores the origins and distinctions between human science and natural science. Key figures discussed include Galileo, who established modern objective science; Descartes, who proposed "I think therefore I am"; Locke, who argued knowledge comes from sensory experience; Comte, who applied positivism to human science; and Dilthey, who argued meanings are critical to understanding human phenomena. The document also examines phenomenology, founded by Husserl, which critiques objectivism and argues knowledge comes from our lifeworld experience of perception.
Presentation at HEA-funded workshop 'A dialogue between phenomenology and realism in pedagogical and educational research '.
The workshop aimed to stimulate debate around the philosophical underpinnings of different research methodologies, whose shared terminology is often interpreted in radically contrasting ways, and in particular, to encourage dialogue between realist and phenomenological research traditions. The workshop was aimed at pedagogical and educational researchers who are looking to expand their methodological repertoire and to explore new ways of teaching research methods.

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection", would not suffer such emotions.

Dr. Ferrarello co-taught a graduate seminar in phenomenological psychology in January 2014 for doctoral students at Saybrook. She led students in a day-long reflection on the steps in qualitative data gathering and analysis to which they had been introduced over the course of the preceding days, reflecting on their own experience of the moments in the research process through the lens of Husserl's phenomenological psychology, especially Ideas I and Cartesian Meditations.
By the end of this presentation you should be able to:
Describe the common qualitative research approaches
Demonstrate how and when to conduct different types of qualitative research
Understand that focus group discussion and interview are not qualitative research methods or designs. They are just tools for data collection.

Husserl's phenomenology a short introduction for psychologistsMarc Applebaum, PhD
This is the presentation I used to set the philosophical context for students in my graduate seminar in descriptive phenomenological psychological research--it is an outline of some central Husserlian concepts, and assumes no prior acquaintance with Husserl's work. Naturally, I supplemented the slides with many experiential examples!
Applebaum: Themes in phenomenological psychological researchMarc Applebaum, PhD
Description of Event (150 words maximum): Descriptive phenomenology is a well-established approach to qualitative research in which the researcher develops the ability to carefully analyze participants’ descriptions of their experiences. Researchers learn to attend carefully to interview data, setting aside their preconceptions about participants’ experiences, and deepening their own ability to empathically listen and discover essential psychological meanings. This presentation accompanied a 2-day overview of the method and discussion of its applications. Students were introduced to the descriptive phenomenological method, which Giorgi, Wertz, Halling, and Englander have applied to a range of important psychological themes.

My presentation from the 2016 International Congress of Psychology in Yokohama, Japan--focusing on a Husserlian approach the origins of the "I" in relation to the You.
This is a revision of my presentation from the August 2013 International Human Science Research Conference in Aalborg, Denmark. My objective was to convey the interrelationship of description and interpretation within phenomenological philosophy and upon Giorgi's descriptive research approach drawing upon Ricoeur's hermeneutic philosophy.
Applebaum (2013) interrelationship of phenomenological philosophy & psychologyMarc Applebaum, PhD
In The Primacy of Perception Merleau-Ponty (1964) remarked, “psychology and philosophy are nourished by the same phenomena; it is only that the problems become more formalized at the philosophical level” (p. 24). Phenomenological philosophy, as much as psychology, is concerned with the study of consciousness and the life of psyche. What is the relationship between the two, for phenomenologists? I explore the interrelationship of the two through the lens of Aristotle's reflection on sofia (wisdom) and phronesis (praxis-understanding).
In this lecture, Dr. Ferrarello posed two questions: Do values need facts in order to existe and be expressed? And, do descriptions need values in order to constitute descriptions? She addresses these questions through Husserl's Logical investigations and Analyses Concerning Active and Passive Synthesis.

My presentation at this year's International Human Science Research Conference in Montreal. My aim was to support discussion among hermeneutic and descriptive researchers and clinicians, and also to convey a sense of the descriptive phenomenological method, developed by Giorgi, which I teach at Saybrook Graduate School.
5. PHENOMENOLOGY AND HUMAN SCIENCE
Phenomenology is
a philosophical
approach applied
to psychology
Both philosophy
and psychology
are human
sciences
Study of
phaenomenon
(Gr. Φαίνω, What
appears to us)
6. HUMAN AND NATURAL SCIENCE
The word science is not a univocal term
Scientia comes from Latin scire and refers
to the outcome of inquiry within a
community of knowers
The meanings of science have been
debated for millennia
11. THE LANGUAGE THAT NATURE SPEAKS
[The universe] cannot be read until we
have learned the language and become
familiar with the characters in which it
is written. It is written in
mathematical language, and the
letters are triangles, circles and other
geometrical figures, without which
means it is humanly impossible to
comprehend a single word.
-Opere Il Saggiatore, p. 171
12. HOW CAN YOU PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF
THINGS IF YOU DON’T FIRST PROVE YOUR
OWN EXISTENCE?
13. RENÉ DESCARTES (1596-1650,
FRANCE)
“I think, therefore
I am” (Je pense,
donc je suis or
Cogito ergo sum)
Res Cogitans and
Res Cogitans (I Res Extensa (I am Res Extensa
think - Mind) - Body ) interact through
the pineal gland
14. JOHN LOCKE (1632-1704, ENGLAND)
Founder of Empirical science
Nature speaks in the language of
experience
Reliable knowledge is grounded in the
evidence of sensory experience and
established by means of experimentation
15. DO WE SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AS
NATURE? IS HUMAN SCIENCE THE SAME
AS NATURAL SCIENCE?
16. AUGUSTE COMTE (1798-1857, ENGLAND)
Founder of positivism
Human science can be studied
using the methods of the
natural sciences
Natural Science is a positive
science
Positive comes from Latin
positum
17. ARE WE OBJECTS? HOW CAN OUR LIVED-
EXPERIENCE BE INVESTIGATED?
18. WILHELM DILTHEY (1833-1911,
GERMAN)
The human science movement arose in the 19th
century as an alternative to positivism, which had
become the dominant philosophy of science
Human science argues that meanings, not just facts,
are critical in understanding human phenomena:
Dilthey was a founder of this movement
Geistes- Naturwissenschaften (Human and Natural
science) have to use the same objectivistic method
19. PHENOMEOLOGY
Works : Crisis of
European Science
Founder: Edmund and the
Husserl (1859- Amsterdam
1938) Lectures on
Phenomenological
Pyschology
20. IS SCIENCE OBJECTIVE AND UNBIASED?
IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE TO SPEAK THE
LANGUAGE OF NATURE?
21. CRISIS OF EUROPEAN SCIENCE (1936)
Objectivism of
Mathematical
the Human
and Empirical
and Natural Science is All our
language Transcendental
Sciences led always knowledge
alienated us Subjectivism
Europe toward subjective come from us
from our
a “deluge of
lifeworld
skepticism”
22. HUSSERL:
If man loses this faith, it means nothing less
than the loss of faith "in himself," in his own
true being. This true being is not something
he always already has, with the self-evidence
of the "I am," but something he only has and
can have in the form of the struggle for his
truth, the struggle to make himself true. True
being is everywhere an ideal goal, a task of
episteme or "reason," as opposed to being
which through doxa is merely thought to be,
unquestioned and "obvious."
23. HUSSERL:
As men of the present, having grown up in this
development, we find ourselves in the greatest
danger of drowning in the skeptical deluge and
thereby losing our hold on our own truth. As we
reflect in this plight, we gaze backward into the
history of our present humanity. We can gain
self -understanding, and thus inner support,
only by elucidating the unitary meaning which
is inborn in this history from its origin through
the newly established task [of the Renaissance],
the driving force of all [modern] philosophical
attempts.
24. MERLEAU-PONTY (1908-1961, FRANCE)
Phenomenology of Perception
Humans are more than a chain of facts
There is no objective and higher language
of nature to be excluded from
All our knowledge begins with the act of
perception
