摘要 Is phenomenological psychology an applied phenomenology, as framed in the book The Phenomenological Mind (2020)? Or is “the constitutive phenomenology of the natural attitude,” as Husserl suggests in Ideas II, the essence of phenomenological psychology? To rephrase the issues involved: when seeking a mediator between transcendental phenomenology and positivist psychology, should it be an applied phenomenology or a phenomenological psychology with transcendental characteristics? Answering these questions not only clarifies the debate about whether phenomenological psychologists should adopt phenomenological epoché and reduction in researching lived experience (Moley, 2019; Zahavi, 2018, 2019a, 2019b; Zahavi & Martiny, 2019; Zahavi & Gallagher, 2020), but, more importantly, illuminates how phenomenology can coherently collaborate with positivist psychology. This article will demonstrate that if the insights of transcendental phenomenology are to contribute to disclosing lived experiences in everyday life, a phenomenological psychology with transcendental characteristics is indispensable. Although the phenomenological psychology practiced in the field of modern psychology differs from Husserl’s original design, it is precisely the phenomenological psychology pursued by psychologists that takes up the task of “the constitutive phenomenology of the natural attitude” and advances the development of existentially oriented psychotherapy. When positivist psychology is willing to form its research by using descriptions of lived experience as a reference, phenomenological psychology will also become a valuable aid to it.
