Abstract
While the enterprise of modern science seeks to explain phenomena, its own methodology (viz., the scientific method) tends to blind scientists both to phenomena in their original, pre-scientific context and to the very nature or essential motive of science. In order to explain phenomena as they are we need to see them on their own ground or in their own genesis. This applies to the phenomenon of science, as well. Science itself begs to be explained pre-scientifically, or more precisely it begs for an explanation unfolding out of an exploration of the hiatus between science and its pre-scientific world. Only by standing phenomenologically in the interstice between the scientific and the pre-scientific can we truly explain the phenomenon of science, thereby exposing ourselves to an understanding of phenomena as they are and not merely as they are supposed to be relatively to ends alien to them.
