In psychology, phenomenology is used to refer to
subjective experiences or their study. The experiencing
subject can be considered to be the
person or
self. Subjective experiences are those that are in principle not directly observable by any external
observer. One aspect of this of great philosophical interest is
qualia, whose archtypical exemplar is "redness". "Is my experience of redness the same as yours?" "How would we know?" Subjective experiences are not merely preceptual. They can include any
emotional,
cognitive, or
conative experience reaching the
consciousness of the subject.
