Edmund Husserl accepted the concept of the intentionality given by the Brentano. He studied the intentionality and deduced the result as knowledge that for environment the person turned outward, whereas the knowledge gained through studies results the inward turning of the person. Later Husserl suggested that it occurred according to the subjective experiences.

Two important methods were deduced by the Edmund Husserl further out of, which first was founded on the intentionality and second was based on the processes experienced by a person subjectively. Both the method presented by the Edmund Husserl focuses on the experiences, which are phenomenological in nature. Second method also has the basics of the essence of the mental processes as well.

The method, which was founded on the phenomenological experiences and the essence of the mental processes, was called as pure phenomenology by the Husserl. In pure phenomenology the term phenomenon is used for the mental events. These events are referred as intact, whole meaningful experiences.
