Van Manen (1984) describes phenomenology as "a carefully cultivated thoughtfulness" rather than a technique, as well as stating that phenomenology is "a method without techniques." As such, it is both method and methodology. Anyone interested in phenomenology would be wise to start with Max van Manen's beautiful introduction. His reflections on the lived experience of motherhood and fatherhood as a way to understand phenomenological research provide approachable insight into this "technique-less" research method.

For a good modern example see Adams and Yin, who explored lived timed in a MOOC as one of the lifeworld existential themes.
