 The methodology of phenomenological inquiry is first-personal. However, as noted at the outset of this section, the two traditions—analytic and Phenomenological—differ fundamentally. The former is an empirically grounded, a posteriori philosophical science that proceeds by inductive and abductive methods. It aims to achieve general, psychological truths about the first-personal character of moral experiences. The latter is an a priori philosophical science that proceeds via a systematic consideration of the various parts and aspects of an experience in order to identify which of them are essential to the experience being the kind of experience it is. It achieves (presumptively) necessary truths about the correlation between the intentionally directed experience and its object just as experienced (see below), including the first-personal character of its experiential dimension and the structural components of the object and its significance for the subject. Let us consider these differences in more detail.
