O mundo da vida (lebenswelt) enquanto estância de significação: tessituras e delimitações críticas

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the epistemological particularities of Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schütz and Jürgen Habermas for the World of Life (Lebenswelt), as an instance of the signification of life. Thereunto, besides the work of the authors mentioned above, we also present and discuss productions of Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology that epistemologically problematize the World of Life. The present discussion has its relevance insofar in the means that it presents the theoretical delimitations of the construct of the World of Life, through the criticism of these authors. In general, this article is structured and proposes the following reflections: we introduce the concept of the World of Life as an instance of signification and the importance of delimitating their different perspectives; we present the inauguration of the reflections of the World of Life in the thought of Edmund Husserl; the unfoldings of the everyday World of Life within the analyzes of Alfred Schütz's Comprehensive Sociology; and, finally, the appropriation of Jürgen Habermas for the construction of his Critical Theory of Society.
