Feeling
Feeling in psychology is usually reserved for the conscious subjective experience of emotion. As such, it is inherently beyond the reach of scientific method. Phenomenology and heterophenomenology are philosophical approaches that provide some basis for knowledge of feelings. Many schools of psychotherapy depend on the therapist achieving some kind of understanding of the the client's feelings, for which methodologies exist. Some theories of interpersonal relationships also have a role for shared feelings or understanding of another person's feelings.
