Phenomenology of Practice
Author: Max van Manen
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000876136
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Max van Manen offers an extensively updated edition of Phenomenology of Practice: Meaning-Giving Methods in Phenomenological Research and Writing to provide an eloquent, accessible, and detailed approach to practicing phenomenology. Phenomenology of practice refers to the meaning of doing phenomenology on experiences that are of significance to those in professional practice such as psychology, health care, education, and in contexts of ordinary living. A special feature of this update is the role of examples, anecdotes, stories, and vignettes, and the singularity of fictionalized empirical fragments in making the unknowable knowable. Accordingly, the various chapters are enriched with many intelligible examples of phenomenological essays and excursions on ordinary and extraordinary topics. These examples show that a phenomenological method can be engaged to explore virtually any lived experience or event. Max van Manen provides penetrating portrayals of depthful insights by brilliant phenomenologists. He identifies and distinguishes a variety of phenomenological orientations that are alive and current today. This book is relevant to scholars, students, and motivated readers interested in the originary meanings and methods of phenomenological human science enquiry. Max van Manen’s comprehensive work is of significance to all concerned with the interrelation between being and acting, thoughtfulness and tact, in human sciences research and the phenomenology of everyday life.

Forces are gathering in the shadows, and they will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep Danai from completing the rites. Denizens of Nonetre, the Fire Realm, have also appeared in Lampion, raising fears of war among even the dwarven Troich and the elven Ael. The sprytes will have to accomplish bizarre and impossible quests, and ice dragons, fire demons, and even their own revered Loremaster stand in their way. In spite of the obstacles, there is one thing the young Feyree know. They are going to get their wings—or die trying.
