Talk:Eidetic reduction

Unification Aspects:

• Eidetic reduction is a method found in Husserlian phenomenology. It is a method that is used to find essential components that make a given kind of phenomenon or experience unique and distinguishable from all other kinds of experiences. For example, our experience of time has a number of unique features distinguishable from other experiences. According to Husserl, each kind of experience has some “essences” that are unique to it. On the other hand, Heidegger rejected the existence of “essences” in any form, and re-defined phenomenology as Hermeneutics, a theory of interpretation.
• Phenomenology has been applied in diverse disciplines from theology, religious studies, psychology, sociology, and others. Out of these, religious phenomenology is pertinent to Unificationism. Within the framework of Unificationism, phenomenological studies such as the phenomenology of experiences with God, phenomenology of revelation, and phenomenology of love are topics to be explored. These studies will broaden the Unificationist perspective and bring it to a new level.

Unification Aspects is designed to relate the subject of this article to Unification Thought and to aid
teachers and researchers who wish to further pursue these topics from a unification perspective.
