Does "in which considerations of objective reality are not taken into account" mean "in the study, a researcher does not need to care for how he thinks about objective reality; he only need study the objective reality itself"?
Context:
phenomenology [fi,nɔmi'nɔlədʒi, fə-]
n.
a philosophical doctrine proposed by Edmund Husserl based on the study of human experience in which considerations of objective reality are not taken into account.

@oristarA,
I'm no expert on the nuances of philosophy; but my understanding is that phenomenology deals with experience from a personal perspective. Objective reality is not considered.

No. It means that considerations of objective reality are not taken into account in the study upon which the philosophical doctrine of phenomenology is based.
@oristarA,
Roughly speaking, the greek root for phenomena (or phenomenon) is "to appear" or "an appearance."
Phenomenolgy concerns itself with appearances, not speculation about the "objective reality" which might be postulated as the 'cause' of the appearance. What you see is what you get.
