Negative Capability: A Phenomenological Study of Lived Experience at the
Edge of Certitude and Incertitude
Abstract
This is a condensed version of the author’s phenomenological doctoral
study on “negative capability.” Fourteen leaders were interviewed
using the IPA approach to data collection and interpretation. This
should be of interest to counselors, psychotherapists, leaders, conflict
mediators, and anyone interested in the work of John Keats.
