Classic Writings for a Phenomenology of Practice features examples
of newly translated classic phenomenological texts that have been
largely forgotten or misunderstood. The writings are unique in that
they speak to the practice of doing phenomenological research for
the purpose of gaining insights and better understandings regarding
aspects of professional practice and ordinary life phenomena and
events. Phenomenology does not have to be impenetrable philosophy,
dealing with tedious technical issues. Instead, phenomenology may
offer relevance, value, and enduring allure to readers and
researchers who are engaged with the quotidian life experiences and
events of students, patients, clients, friends, and other
individuals. This phenomenological approach aims to stay as close
as possible to the ordinary events of everyday life: seeing the
first smile of a child, feeling compulsive, being humorous, having
a conversation, experiencing childhood secrecy, encountering new
things-topics that span a manifold of life experiences. In this
collection of classic phenomenological writings, each author is
thoughtfully introduced, and each text is followed by a
conversational descant: a reflection on the phenomenological
reflection. The presentation of these classic writings and their
reflections aims to show us what it means to do phenomenology
directly on the phenomena that we live-thus asking us to be
attentive to the fascinating varieties and subtleties of primal
lived experiences and consciousness in all its remarkable
complexities. This book is relevant for scholars and students who
are interested in human science research and the origins and
practices of the phenomenological method.
From the time of conception, through the gestation of pregnancy, to
the birth of a newborn child exists an extraordinary, emergent
ethics. How does this ethics come into being when a child is
conceived? How does the appearance of ethics in pregnancy differ
from its emergence after birth? How does the original meaning of
ethics relate to modern morality in decision making? In this book,
Michael van Manen explores these ethical moral complexities and
conceptualizations of life's beginnings. He delves into perennial
and contemporary aspects of conception, pregnancy, and birth to
present ethics as a fundamental phenomenon in the experiential
encounter between parent and child. Even in the context of
neonatal-perinatal medicine, where all manner of medical
technologies and illnesses may potentially complicate the
developing relation of parent and child, ethics is always already
present yet also enigmatic in its origin. And yet, to approach
ethical moral questions, we need to understand the inception of
ethics. The Birth of Ethics: Phenomenological Reflections on Life's
Beginnings is an essential text not only for health professionals
and researchers but also for parents, family members, and others
who care and take responsibility for newborns in need of medical
care.

Many children spend their first days, weeks, and sometimes months
in a neonatal intensive care unit as a consequence of prematurity,
congenital anomalies, or birth complications. Their medical needs
are thoughtfully appraised and attended to, yet some questions are
rarely asked: What experiences do these newborns have? What
experiences are we giving them? How can we and do we understand
what their lives are like? What are the interventions and actions
of medical care actually like for them? Michael van Manen explores
the experiential life of newborn infants with particular
consideration for those newborns who require medical care. Drawing
on contemporary research findings from physiology, psychology,
biology, and other disciplines, he offers phenomenological insights
and raises thought-provoking questions as to how we ought to
understand and care for such young children. In our contemporary
world, it is often the experiences of inception, of first contact,
with those who seem most distant, foreign, or even alien that we
need to try to apprehend and understand. The inceptual lives of
newborn infants challenges us to explore those experiences
phenomenologically - to investigate the originary meanings of early
life experiences. Phenomenology of the Newborn is an essential text
for researchers seeking to employ phenomenology for the study of
neonatal life and related concerns that may seem inaccessible to
other more traditional qualitative and quantitative methods.
