Purpose The purpose of this study is to improve our understanding of bracketing, one of the most central philosophical and theoretical constructs of phenomenology, as a theory of mind. Furthermore, we wanted to showcase how this theoretical construct can be implemented as a methodological tool. Design/methodology/approach In this study we have adopted an approach similar to a qualitative meta-synthesis, comparing the emergent patterns of two empirical projects, seeking synergies and contradictions, and looking for additional insights from new emerging patterns. Findings On a philosophical level, we have found that bracketing, as a theoretical construct, is not about the achievement of objectivity, quite to the contrary, it embraces subjectivity and puts it centre-stage. On a theoretical level, we have achieved a better understanding of Husserl’s phenomenology, as a theory of mind. On a methodological level, we have achieved a powerful way of supplementing and/or clarifying research findings, by using a theoretical construct as a methodological tool. Originality/value Our paper contributes to the phenomenology literature at a philosophical, theoretical and methodological level, by offering a better understanding and a novel implementation of one of the central theoretical constructs of phenomenology.

包围：通过超人反身性运用的现象学理论

目的这项研究的目的是提高我们对包围理论的理解，包围理论是现象学最重要的哲学和理论构造之一。此外，我们想展示如何将这种理论构造作为一种方法论工具来实施。设计/方法/方法在这项研究中，我们采用了一种类似于定性元综合的方法，比较了两个经验项目的新兴模式，寻求协同作用和矛盾，并从新兴模式中寻求更多的见解。结果在哲学层面上，我们发现包围作为一种理论构造，与实现客观性无关，相反，它包含了主观性并将其置于中心位置。从理论上讲 作为一种心理理论，我们已经对胡塞尔的现象学有了更好的理解。在方法论层面，我们已经通过使用理论构建作为方法论工具，实现了补充和/或阐明研究结果的有效方法。独创性/价值我们的论文为现象学的中心理论构造之一提供了更好的理解和新颖的实现，在哲学，理论和方法论层面上为现象学文献做出了贡献。
