The Lebenswelt in Husserl
The Lebenswelt in Husserl
The idea of Husserl's that has become most widely known is that of the life-world or Lebenswelt. This chapter examines this concept and contends that people should resist the urge to see the life-world as something set up against science, for the scientific world is itself part of the life-world. Scientific statements get their meaning from being embedded in the life-world, and thus they are justified by the life-world. This chapter concludes by considering this key function of the concept, which appears to hold for Husserl even in the case of mathematics.
