For over seventy years, phenomenology, initially through Edmund Husserl’s voice, has been reporting the growing distance between the scientific world and the life-world. The world of science not only has distanced itself from the life-world: it has forgotten the life-world. A tragic forgetting, since the world expressed by the model of science is a world in pieces, it is an impoverishment of the rich reality of the lived world. Against this contemporary tendency, phenomenology calls upon us to “get back to the things themselves”, which means get back to the “life-world” (Lebenswelt) or to the world of experience. In order to achieve that, it is necessary to regard both the innocence and the rigor of the phenomenological eye, yet looking not only with the eyes, but also with the ears, hands and all senses - and also with the heart. The present article aims to raise a discussion about the need and the meaning of taking this way back to the life-world, from a phenomenological point of view.
