The heuristic epoché-reduction consists of the epoché of bracketing (disturbing, shattering) the attitude of taken-for-grantedness. It aims to awaken a profound sense of wonder about the phenomenon or event in which one is interested—the heuristic moment occurs in the disposition of wonder. Wonder overwhelms, but wonder should not be confused with curiosity, fascination, or admiration.
The method of phenomenology is radical reflection. The reflective method is supposed to emulate lived experience and this requires several forms of the first aspect of phenomenological methodology, the reductio: The bracketing or suspension of our everday “natural attitude”.
This emulation occurs linguistically thorugh writing in the context of the second aspect of phenomenological methodology, the vocatio. The intent of writing is to produce textual portrayals that resonate the kinds of meanings that we seem to recognize in prereflective experience. The vocative dimension expresses this concern with language.
