3. "The Science of the Life-World," in PH, pp. 182-197. Gadamer thinks Husserl's account of the life-world puts too much emphasis on the neo-Kantian goal of a scientific or theoretical account of experience, undervaluing the role of practice in shaping horizons. Nevertheless, Gadamer's accounts of dialogue makes significant use of Husserl's categories
