ABSTRACT
The chapter will concentrate on grounded theory methodology (GTM) from the point of view of phenomenology (PH). I will analyze some classical books and ideas of grounded theory to see some possibilities of enriching GTM and adapting phenomenological thinking to GTM.
The goal of this chapter is to explain the similarities and differences between GTM and PH. We want to see how these two approaches could be an inspiration for creating a thoughtful approach in social research that is more reflexive, contemplative, and self-aware.
