PERES, Sávio Passafaro. Köhler's phenomenology and the concept of direct experience. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.2, pp. 171-180. ISSN 1809-6867.

Köhler was one of the authors of Gestalt psychology that most emphasized the need of the phenomenological method. For him, the phenomenological method allows properly approach the "direct experience" without committing the errors derived from classical introspection. The purpose of this article is to detail the phenomenological method of Köhler in his theory of perception. At the end, we intend to show that it is central to the fundaments of the Gestalt psychology. The phenomenological method serves as a tool to distinguish the direct object of external experience from the physical object.

Keywords : Intentionality; Phenomenology; Wolfgang Köhler; direct experience.
