Phenomenology, life-world and crisis of sciences: the need for a phenomenological geography

The paper aims to present the constitution of a "phenomenological geography" from the phenomenological critique that Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) promotes about modern science, exposed in his last writings called "The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology." In these writings Husserl denounces the crisis of meaning experienced by modern science and philosophy, showing how the gap between the sciences and the lifeworld (Lebenswelt), has produced serious consequences, especially because the modern sciences excludes from their discussion the humanity and society issues. Husserl sees the Transcendental Phenomenology as the only way out of the crisis, whose intention is to recover the spontaneous order, the sense and orientation of human existence, resuming the role of transcendental subjectivity, exposed in the evidences pre-scientifics and pre-logical of the lifeworld (Lebenswelt). In the specific case of geography as modern science, as Husserl would argue, it also applies the need to establish a new geography, able to regain a sense of humanity, possible from a unified geographic knowledge. This geography recovered by the ideal of science, refounded by Husserlian phenomenology, can be called a Phenomenological Geography or Eidetic Geography, whose purpose is to reconduce the reflection of the principles constituents of reality, in other words, the subjectivity and world in its full correlation.
