ABSTRACT
The meaning of Edmund Husserl’s notion of ‘life-world’ is context-dependent, and thus it seems to escape a univocal definition. Many authors have complained that the notion appears paradoxical, even contradictory. For example, Husserl speaks of life-worlds but also stresses that there is only one ‘world.’ The scientist aims to make judgments that are expressed unambiguously, are coherent and are critically warranted in light of evidence. In many of his writings, Husserl emphasizes the Euclidean ideal as something that provides the exact sciences with an ideal of how their truths should be systematized. The intersubjective basis of the sciences lies in the evidence originating in the experiences of the human surrounding world and in perception of material objects in it. Husserl contrasts the experience of being able to acquire the required expertize for entering a particular world with the experience of foreign worlds.
