Max van Manen offers an extensive exploration of
phenomenological traditions and methods for the human sciences.
It is his first comprehensive statement of phenomenological
thought and research in over a decade. Phenomenology of practice
refers to the meaning and practice of phenomenology in
professional contexts such as psychology, education, and health
care, as well as to the practice of phenomenological methods in
contexts of everyday living. Van Manen presents a detailed
description of key phenomenological ideas as they have evolved over
the past century; he then thoughtfully works through the
methodological issues of phenomenological reflection, empirical
methods, and writing that a phenomenology of practice offers to the
researcher. Van Manen’s comprehensive work will be of great
interest to all concerned with the interrelationship between being
and acting in human sciences research and in everyday life.
Developing Qualitative Inquiry series, Volume 13
