ABSTRACT
Experimental phenomenology is a branch of natural sciences and a part of a naturalistic conception of a theory of knowledge. Experimental phenomenology has its own technical glossary, which comes directly from common language, exempt from arcane, false theoreticisms. The operating base of the language of Experimental Phenomenology is ostensive definition. It is useless to appeal to the famous myth of the ambiguity of ostensive definitions, since this is fallacious. The thoroughbred researcher in Experimental Phenomenology approaches phenomena in a kind of theoretical vacuum, of suspension of judgment. Experimental Phenomenology is the empirical science of reality tout court and subjectivity is only one paragraph – for all that it is important. The perceptual event, the focus of Experimental Phenomenology, only exists at the moment of observation, and this observation takes place in a time period which is the event’s “real duration”, and which Stern likewise very appropriately called the “time of presence”.
