Phenomenologists are interested in understanding social phenomena from a first-person perspective, so from the way that an individual processes information and makes interpretations and understands the social and physical world around them. It can also be understood as the study of a person's inwards structures of experience or a person's consciousness.

Two of the most well-known philosophers who were phenomenologists were Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.
