Click on any of the spheric globules and you are in the midst of a cloud displaying words expressing multiple meaningful significances. Each highlighted blue circle presents a first order phenomenology term and an accompanying text explicating and discussing an aspect of meaning of phenomenology in this Word Cloud semantic language. Highlight a second order grey or third order orange term and you will be drawn more deeply into the relational meanings of phenomenology itself. The relational logic of the Word Cloud mediated approach provides and shapes the understanding of open and deeper meanings

But phenomenology may also be considered a human science method: a profoundly reflective inquiry into human meaning. Phenomenology as a research perspective can be studied in terms of several domains of inquiry:

1. 1. We may distinguish various traditions or orientations such as transcendental, existential, hermeneutic, historical, ethical, and language phenomenologies;
   2. Phenomenological inquiry probes and draws from different sources of meaning;
   3. Phenomenological inquiry can be understood in terms of the philosophical or methodological attitudes associated with the reductio and the vocatio;
   4. The more procedural dimensions of phenomenological inquiry can be explored in terms of empirical methods and reflective methods;
   5. Ultimately phenomenological inquiry cannot be separated from the practice of writing.
   6. Phenomenological inquiry can be studied in terms of its practical consequences for human living.
