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. 1. M. Pollner, Mundane Reasoning, Phil. Soc. Scie. 4, 1974, 40. 2. ibid. p. 47f._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
