Introduction
The reach of phenomenology into different non-
philosophical domains has been steadily growing with, for
now, no end in sight. Find below a growing list of disciplines
which make extensive use of phenomenology in its self-understanding.
The list is alphabetical by subject and open for additions.
Because phenomenology is an integral philosophy of consciousness
and life it is hard to make sharp distinctions in its application
in different specialized subject matters, especially the
overlapping spheres of biology, cognitive science, psychology
and psychiatry.
