Abstract
The authors present the fundamental ideas of the phenomenology as an epistemology aiming human sciences which is concerned with the past experiences of the subjects and necessarily uses reflection as a way to consider the facts as they show up. As a methodological alternative for research, the phenomenology seeks the essence of the posed phenomenon and, to analyse its structure the investigator gets descriptions of the subjects who undergo the situation, aiming the formation of significant units. Hermeneutics is a kind of interpretation which must rely on a philosophical body of experience.
