Abstract
MASCARO, Luciano. Science as habituality, and its Inherent Risks: A Study Regarding the Conflicts Related to the Traditional Nature of Science in Husserl's "The Origin of Geometry". Prax. filos. [online]. 2012, n.34, pp.25-38. ISSN 0120-4688.
This exposition has a twofold purpose: 1) we will attempt to suggest an interpretation of the traditional nature of science as a social form of the habituality of the ego, which results from the sedimentation of successful acquisitions. 2) We will seek to examine the risks and benefits derived from the traditional and habitual nature of science. As benefits, we highlight the possibility of transferability of knowledge and the non-necessity of a permanent reconstruction of the meaning-founding acts. Regarding the risks, we will study the progressive forgetting of the original foundation and the consequent danger of the drop of a science into irrationality, as well as the pernicious reification of ideal forms, and their tendency to proclaim themselves as the foundation of the vital soil, triggering an underestimation of the Life-world, in the phenomenon called Substruktion.
