A noção husserliana de mundo da vida (Lebenswelt): em defesa de sua unidade e coerência

This paper discusses some of the controversial issues concerning the concept of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) as it is laid out by Edmund Husserl. Despite its multiple usages, I argue that this notion must be construed as univocal, and as endowed with internal coherence throughout Husserl's work. So as to present this argument more fully, I examine the connection between lifeworld and science, as well as the former's contribution to knowledge and its relation to intersubjectivity, all of these themes being key concerns in the context of Husserl's later thought.
