The concept of human perception has been a primary focus in philosophical
discussions since long. In understanding the world through a semilogical lens,
philosophers have designated a system of signs and symbols which makes the world a
meaningful place where meaning is derived from the interplay between subject and
object. At the turn of the 20thcentury, the phenomenological theory of perception gained
momentum. Phenomenology can simply be defined as the study of phenomenon that
arises from the experiences of being in the world, in the process of being. Though
phenomenology as a philosophical theory was developed and popularized by Edmund
Husserl, traces of the phenomenological thoughts could be found in the earlier
philosophers like Nietzsche, David Hume, Immanuel Kant and Frantz Brentano.
