Of course the problem with phenomenology is the assumption that consciousness is a meaningful phenomenon. All action and reaction, including thought and feeling, was predetermined by the iron laws of the cosmos at the beginning of time. The human experience is nothing more than pantomime, doomed to follow its fated course.
It's easy but also very wrong, and actually not really as cool as you think it is. It's IMO an ideological artifact of Enlightenment-era science trying to distance itself from religion in a way it doesn't cause conflict with religious authorities. Worked fine for a while but it's not really the truth.
