In the post-modern paradigm, the narrative inquiry has reached a scientific status: it is a theory according to which a research, being an experiential act, can be narrated. To tell a research experience means to narrate what one does and what one thinks. For the first direction of sense of the narrative act there are already inventories listing the procedures to be followed, while for the second one this is not the case yet. In order to make use of a method enabling to narrate the thoughts accompanying the epistemic experience, it is necessary to refer to phenomenology. As matter of fact, phenomenology considers the thinking as a cogitatum which can be the object of cogitatio here intended as the reflective act; consequently, phenomenology suggests to explain the cognitive acts supporting the research by describing them in details, since to describe constitutes the essence of the phenomenological method.
