Transcendental phenomenology (TPh), largely developed by Husserl, is a philosophical approach to qualitative research methodology seeking to understand human experience (Moustakas, 1994).

His preoccupation is on the questions of method;6 “his entire understanding of Being moves within the contrast between and the complementarity of transcendent entities and the Being of transcendent consciousness.
