ZAHAVI, Dan. Applied phenomenology: why is it safe to ignore the epoché.Traduzido porVictor Portugal. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.3, pp. 332-341. ISSN 1809-6867.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2019v25n3.12.

The question of whether a proper phenomenological investigation and analysis requires one to perform the epoché and the reduction has not only been discussed within phenomenological philosophy. It is also very much a question that has been hotly debated within qualitative research. Amedeo Giorgi, in particular, has insisted that no scientific research can claim phenomenological status unless it is supported by some use of the epoché and reduction. Giorgi partially bases this claim on ideas found in Husserl's writings on phenomenological psychology. In the present paper, I discuss Husserl's ideas and argue that while the epoché and the reduction are crucial for transcendental phenomenology, it is much more questionable whether they are also relevant for a non-philosophical application of phenomenology.
