Σύνοψη	Digital Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that applies phenomenological inquiry to lived experiences mediated by or situated within digital environments — including social media platforms, virtual communities, online spaces, and interactions with digital technologies. It asks how people experience, make meaning of, and embody their encounters with digital tools and online worlds, using the interpretive and descriptive rigour of classical phenomenology in settings where much or all of the experience unfolds online.	Hermeneutic phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates the interpreted meaning of lived experience from within the existential conditions that shape it. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and developed as an empirical method by Max van Manen, it does not seek to bracket or suspend the researcher's understanding but instead treats that understanding as the very medium through which the meaning of experience can be disclosed. The approach is widely used in education, nursing, and social sciences to explore how people dwell in, and make sense of, their world.
