Phenomenology of Perception

Cognitive phenomenology is the theory that in our minds there are greater, non-sensory thoughts occurring.

I will discuss the theories and arguments suggested by Strawson, and Bayne and Montague and also provide objections given by Prinz and respond to these objections

I was trying to find ways to broaden my insights on how to ask questions that would influence the perception of quality in my dissertation interview questions.  I wanted my dissertation to purport open-ended questions as a way of gaining knowledge about stakeholders’ experiences in the school environments.

As I have developed as a practicing nurse, my views, and consequently my actions, have shifted to represent a more interpretive view of nursing. I am currently a hospice nurse. After studying the different philosophies in the first chapter of Theoretical Basis for Nursing, I realized that phenomenology and hospice care seem to be concomitant. My goals as a palliative
