Melvin Pollner on Rationality - Dictionary of Arguments

Habermas III 32
Rationality/Mundane Reasoning/Environment/Pollner/Habermas: a phenomenological approach that examines the conditions for the recognition of a shared environment with the possibility of shared experiences rather than presupposing it, must analyse what Melvin Pollner calls "mundane reasoning" with reference to Alfred Schütz:
Pollner: That a community orients itself through a world which is essentially constant, as one which is known and knowable to others, provides that community with the justifiable grounds for asking questions of a particular sort of which a prototypical representative is „How come, he sees it and you do not?“.(1)
Habermas III 33
Pollner: it is not the inter-subjectivity of the world that is called into question, but the adequacy of the methods through which the world is experienced and with which it reacts to it.(2)
>Intersubjectivity
, >Phenomenology.
