Subject: Phenomenology – Understanding Human Experience

🌿 Subject: Phenomenology – Understanding Human Experience Phenomenology is the philosophical study of how we experience the world. Instead of focusing only on facts or theories, it asks: What is it like to live through an experience? It explores perception, memory, emotions, and consciousness in everyday life. In this speaking club, participants will reflect on their own experiences and share how they interpret reality. ⸻ 🗣️ Discussion Questions Warm-up (Easy, to start talking) 1. What does the word experience mean to you? 2. Can you describe a recent moment that felt very meaningful in your life? 3. Do you think two people can have completely different experiences of the same event? Main Questions (Deeper exploration) 4. Phenomenology asks us to “go back to the things themselves.” How do you think this applies in daily life? 5. How does your mood (happy, sad, stressed) change the way you see the world around you? 6. Is memory always a reliable way to understand our past experiences? Why or why not? 7. Can language fully express how we feel inside, or are there limits to words? 8. Do you think technology (phones, social media, AI) changes the way we experience reality? Creative / Reflective Questions 9.
