  Article:   WHY DOES THE SUN STILL RISE? - A DIFFICULT ANSWER TO A SIMPLE QUESTION -.

Authors:  ADRIAN COSTACHE.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  

The object of the present study is the relationship between the idea that „the sun rises” and the fundamental thesis of Copernicus’ view upon the universe. Arguing that this relationship is logically a contradiction, the present study endeavours to give the reasons why, from the point of view of Alfred Schutz’s inquiry into the life-world, it is not usually perceived as such.

Keywords: language; life-world; fact of science; trivialized scientific knowledge; Eugen Coşeriu; Hans-Georg Gadamer; Alfred Schutz
