Phenomenology: The study of the logic of conscious or phenomenal events. However, since metaphorical (e.g. consciousness, flow experience) descriptions are used as a proxy for how people really feel, phenomenology becomes rather un-phenomenal, since naming things is not equivalent to being things, leaving 'being' just as inexplicable as ever.
