Features: The meanings that arise from distant, ambiguous, and non-authentic intuition are far from sufficient for us. We must return to the "thing itself." We must attain clarity in fully developed intuition. —Husserl's phenomenology is not a school; it is the possibility of thinking that undergoes self-transformation from time to time and thus persists, namely the ability to respond to the call of what awaits thought. —Heidegger Today, when people first encounter the phenomenological movement, many of the names once familiar have been forgotten. The association evoked by the term "phenomenology" is primarily with the philosophical thoughts of Husserl and Heidegger. However, the spiritual horizon they represented has been and remains very broad. The predecessor of phenomenological research, Romberg, begins his 1998 article "The Way of Phenomenology" by saying: "Husserl is not a phenomenologist, and Heidegger is not the last phenomenologist. Phenomenology is the fundamental idea of philosophy, it has a long history, and it will also have a long future."
