‘Phenomenology’ is a term adopted from philosophy, where it describes ‘structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view’. ‘Affect’ is a term adopted from psychology, where it describes ‘emotion or subjectively experienced feeling’.

phrase rather than asking more straightforwardly ‘how it feels to experience
emotions’.
