    Key Terms

    Essential structures(as the fundamental nature of phenomena)
    The core, unchanging features of something that make it what it is—like how all chairs need a seat and a back, even if they look different.
    Husserl
    Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was a German philosopher who founded a way of thinking called "phenomenology," which focuses on carefully examining how we experience and perceive the world around us. Rather than assuming things are simply as they appear, Husserl developed methods to deeply explore human consciousness and the structures of our experiences. His work became foundational to modern philosophy and influenced many thinkers who came after him.
    Intentional consciousness(as the core feature of how minds work)
    The idea that our minds are always pointed at or directed toward something—when you think about pizza, your consciousness is 'about' pizza; this aboutness is intentionality.
    Phenomenological method(as Husserl's approach to studying consciousness)
    A careful, step-by-step way of examining your own experiences and thoughts to understand the true nature of how you perceive the world around you.
