The philosophy of phenomenology focuses on :

  • A.Intersubjective consciousness of individual
  • B.Social structure
  • C.Conflicts in society
  • D.Functions of social institutions

Answer: A

Phenomenology focuses on intersubjective consciousness of individual.

Following Edmund Husserl, the phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schutz studies how individuals experience the world in consciousness and how they build a shared, intersubjective world of everyday meanings, which they take for granted. Berger and Luckmann developed this into the social construction of reality.

Social structure and the functions of social institutions are the concerns of structural functionalism, and conflicts in society of conflict theory. Phenomenology turns away from these to the meanings people give to their experience.
