Phenomenology: "...has been a name for several disciplines, an expression
for various concepts.  Lambert, in his 'New Organon' in 1764, attached the
name 'Phanomenologie' to the theory of the appearances fundamental to all
empirical knowledge.  Kant adopted the word to express a similar though more
restricted sense in his 'Metaphysische Anjangrgrunde der Naturwissenschaft'
(1786).  On the other hand, in Hegel's 'Phanomenologie des Geistes' (1807)
the same word expresses a radically different concept. ...Edmund Husserl was
the first to apply the name 'Phanomenologie' to a whole philosophy.  His
usage, moreover, has largely determined the senses commonly attached to it
and cognate words in the Twentieth Century. ...Husserl's cardinal principle
[is] that evidence--seeing something that is itself presented--is the only
ultimate source of knowledge."

I think we're talking about the same thing, here, David.
