Abstract
Husserl’s “Life-world” points on the one hand to an open pre-scientific horizon of experience, and can be considered as a formal “a priori,” and has on the other hand a historical character as it points to a world shaped by man. The concept of the “life-world” is therefore a starting point from which the unity of human culture can be reflected, and which, at the same time, implies the thematization of concrete historico-cultural formations.1 The “life-world” is always our “life-world.”
