Textausschnitt: 9.3 The Two Worlds and the Two Truths

262a The correlations of Abschattung and Horizont, of Einstellung and Welt, are, I believe, valuable contributions to cognitional analysis. Still, the alleged two worlds are but one set of beings considered from two standpoints. The one set of beings, as considered relatively to us in its relevance to human living, to the practical problems of man keeping alive and keeping the peace, is the world of common sense. The same set of beings, insofar as one seeks the universal laws of their interrelations, is the world of science. The two worlds are unified in the notion of being and distinguished by considering different relations among beings. The relations of all beings, insofar as they concern the practical problem of man's living, is the world of common sense, and the relations of beings to one another according to their natural laws is the world of science.

262b Again, the two truths are simply the result of applying the appropriate criteria to two cases of knowledge that is sought from different standpoints. If I seek to know this one set of beings insofar as it concerns me practically, there is a set of criteria I follow, and I arrive at certain truths that way. If I seek to know what is universally and necessarily so with regard to the relations between beings objectively, then I have to proceed in a different manner, and use different criteria and more elaborate methods. And so we arrive at a distinction between the truths of common sense and the truths of science. You can see how this problem of the two worlds in Husserl moves Heidegger on to the question of Being.
