 According to the tradition derived from Husserl,  Phenomenology[1]  is focused on essential structures of the intentionality—the directedness to an object—proper to various kinds of experience. Moral phenomenology, understood in this sense, (1) focuses on what is essential to the first-personal, intentional directedness of moral experiences, (2) aims to articulate the essences of types of moral experience, and (3) employs a distinctive a priori methodology.
