Abstract
AbstractA phenomenological understanding of quantum theory offers an entirely new perspective on scientific objectivity and our relationship with the world more generally. However, it is important to recognize that it sits askew to the usual realist and empiricist stances that are debated within the philosophy of science. This becomes apparent when we consider Husserl’s great unfinished work, The Crisis of the European Sciences. In this chapter, following Trizio’s recent analysis, Husserl’s account of the nature of science and its relationship to the everyday ‘life-world’ is described. In particular, the ‘crisis’ is understood as arising from the mathematization of science, with its inherent idealization, which has produced a kinds of ‘psychophysical’ splitting of material nature. London and Bauer’s account is then presented as offering a way to overcome this ‘split’ through the correlation between mind and world and thereby complete Husserl’s final project.
