Bracketing (phenomenology)

Bracketing (German: Einklammerung; also called phenomenological reduction, transcendental reduction or phenomenological epoché) means looking at a situation and refraining from judgement and biased opinions to wholly understand an experience. The preliminary step in the philosophical movement of phenomenology is to suspend judgment (i.e., epoché) about the natural world and instead, to focus on analysis of experience.
