About this video

Runtime: 38 mins

Steven DeLay continues his exploration of Phenomenology and it's major exponents. He explores the complex interplay between phenomenology and metaphysics, particularly in the context of understanding God and theological inquiry. He critiques traditional metaphysics as speculative and ungrounded, contrasting it with phenomenology's focus on what appears intuitively. Phenomenology, exemplified by Husserl and others, emphasizes the reduction to meaning rather than entities, seeking clarity through intuitive self-giveness. This approach challenges the direct phenomenological encounter with God, asserting that God's existence cannot be intuitively given and should be bracketed in phenomenological analysis. It calls for a methodological humility in discerning what is truly grounded in evidence and meaningful within lived experience.
