Abstract
Husserl’s concept and definition of the living world represents a sort of the pinnacle of his later philosophical works. In the form of a new universal science — transcedental phenomenology — and by defining the living world as — for us — immediate and contiguous world, the known and acknowledged inter-subjectivity, Husserl provides a critique of the modern age i.e. the domination of the paradigm of the objectivist sciences. Husserl’s phenomenology also delves into the equally central political and social problems of the contemporary age; Husserl calls for the establishment of a new rationality in judging social and political issues. Particular attention is given to Husserl’s vehement critique of anti-liberalism as well as his novel relation I — we i.e. the individual and the community or the state.
