Summary

Introduction

The term of phenomenology etymologically derived from Greek. From the root word "phenomenan" or "phenomenon" which literally means "symptoms" or "what has appeared" so it is real to us. [1] This term was introduced by Johann Heinrickh Lambert, in 1764. Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) is more viewed the father of phenomenology, because of the intensity of his studies in the realm of philosophy. The phenomenology that we know through Husserl is the science of phenomena. Alfred Schutz is better known in building this perspective. Through Schutz the Husserl's thoughts, which were felt to be abstract, could be understood and were more "grounded". Schutz was the first in apply phenomenology to social science research. In understanding of phenomenology, the researcher will more refer at Alfred Schutz’s thoughts
