Pat was feeling phenomenal so he enlists Ben to teach him about the turn-of-the-century philosophical craze that inspired Existentialism and is just as difficult for Pat to pronounce: Phenomenology. Developed by philosopher Edmund Husserl, Phenomenology is a method employed to analyze and catalog all subjective experience in an objective, scientific way. It ultimately inspired a generation of French cigarette smokers and one unapologetic Nazi. Martin Heidegger, Husserl's one-time protege, essentially stole his ideas and threw Husserl under the bus when the Nazi's took over. Just to hammer that point home: Martin Heidegger was a piece of shit.
