The Phenomenological Method with David Suarez

Being and Becoming: A Community for the Curious is a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us.

Sartre was persuaded to study phenomenology by a friend who told him, “if you are a phenomenologist, you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it!” In her autobiography, Beauvoir observes, “Here was just the thing [Sartre] had been longing to achieve for years — to describe objects just as he saw and touched them, and extract philosophy from the process.” In this session, David Suarez will give a brief introduction to the phenomenological method by way of a guided tour through a few examples illustrating how phenomenologists study experience. We will discuss what phenomenologists have to say about visual perception, embodiment, freedom, and value — and how 20th century French existentialism is rooted in phenomenology.David Suarez is an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, at the Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto.
