Phenomenology Variations from Traditional Approaches to Eidetic and Hermeneutic Applications

Jillian McCarthy

Chapter 24 in The Palgrave Handbook of Research Design in Business and Management, 2015, pp 465-485 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract McCarthy discusses a constructivist research ideology using two phenomenology method variations: eidetic phenomenology and hermeneutic phenomenology. The unit of analysis when using the phenomenology method is usually the “lived experience” of a human participant and the level of analysis is individual within-group. As she explains, eidetic phenomenology is interpretative, which means the research is at the left of a constructivist ideology, having some researcher bias, by comparison to hermeneutic phenomenology where only the participants create the meaning of the data.
