Podsumowanie	Critical phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that merges classical phenomenological methods with critical theory to examine how structural forces — race, gender, class, disability, and other axes of power — shape and constrain lived experience. Rather than pursuing neutral description of universal essences, it asks whose experiences are centred, whose are marginalised, and how oppressive social structures are reproduced in the body and in everyday life. It has been consolidated as a distinct field by scholars such as Lisa Guenther, Gayle Salamon, and Alia Al-Saji.	Interpretive phenomenology is a qualitative research design that investigates the meaning people attribute to their lived experiences by combining phenomenological description with hermeneutic interpretation. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and systematised for social and human sciences by Max van Manen, it moves beyond description to ask what an experience means within a person's broader lifeworld, cultural context, and situated understanding. The researcher's own interpretive horizon is treated as an analytical resource rather than a bias to eliminate.
