To examine the importance of phenomenology for the world of daily life. This theme will be explained in terms of Edmund Husserl's thought, Jean-Paul Satre's phenomenological ontology, and Afred Schutz's conception of the Life-World. Phenomenology and existentialism will be approached as ways of comprehending the crisis of contemporary man.
