Eidetic reduction is a technique in the study of essences in phenomenology whose goal is to identify the basic components of phenomena. Eidetic reduction requires that a phenomenologist examine only what our consciousness intends rather than examining or judging particular factual elements.

Eidetic reduction is a form of imaginative variation by which you attempt to reduce phenomenon into its necessary essences. This is done by mentally changing elements of a practical object to learn which characteristics are necessary for it to be it without being something else.
