Notes
The editors distinguish between Husserlian and analytic phenomenological methods of inquiry by claiming that the former, because it attempts to isolate the essential character of emotions, is an a priori enterprise (employing the method of eidetic reduction) while the latter is empirical, basing its descriptions on introspection. However, as practiced, the methods and aims of these two approaches are arguably very similar. As a first-person inquiry, phenomenologists of all stripes appeal to introspection, and those in the analytic tradition are very often guided by isolating the essential features of emotion kinds. Insofar as there is a difference in these methodologies, it is the primacy of description in the Husserlian tradition, reflected in the rich, fine-grained descriptive detail we find in this collection, that perhaps distinguishes it from what we generally find in the analytic tradition.
