Experience of Everyday Life and the Problem of the Ontological-Epistemological Status of the Structures of Scientific Rationality

The experience of everyday life is defined by quite specific value-oriented goals, whereas the “inventions” of scientific rationality (mathematics, mathematical natural science, techno-science) remain neutral with regard to the needs of human existence. The resulting possibilities and numerous facts of using scientific achievements in subjective individual or group interests necessitate the search for conditions that allow reliance on axiologically meaningful, intellectually traditional, and perceptually experienced “axioms of common sense”. Difficulties in interpreting structures of reflective thinking of scientific rationality in terms of cognitive practices of everyday experience are substantially minimized in the context of their analysis as expressions of the conflict between “naturally arisen” and “artificially created” (K. Marx) formations of consciousness, taking into account some ideas put forward in the concepts of the “life-world” (E. Husserl), techniques of expressing objectivity in acts of consciousness (R. Descartes, E. Husserl), and “language games” (L. Wittgenstein). In conclusion, the integration of everyday life experience and scientific rationality offers fertile ground for philosophical inquiry and theoretical synthesis. By elucidating the ontological and epistemological dimensions of cognitive structures, we can deepen our understanding of human consciousness and its role in shaping our perception of reality. Further research in this area promises to shed light on the complex interplay between subjective experience and objective knowledge.
