Responses and Reactions

Ralph Ellis, Clark Atlanta University


I strongly believe in the idea of dialogal phenomenology, which emphasizes that anyone's first-person perspective is likely to miss or distort aspects of a phenomenon in ways that can be discovered by getting access to someone else's carefully done phenomenology regarding the same issues. To get that kind of feedback here has been an invaluable and fascinating process. And even if everything I have said is completely wrong, it will still have been worthwhile in provoking the rich discussions from the other participants, which will perhaps inspire others to pursue these ideas still further. If anything is in need of a dialogal approach, it is the topic under discussion here.
