Abstract: The article discusses one of the conditions of thinking and dialogue, which the author connects with the concept of the “life world” of the individual. The motivation for discussing this topic was observing the controversy among methodologists on the Internet. The author shows that the life worlds of individuals determine the nature of thinking and dialogue, and if these worlds are divergent or opposite, it is not possible to achieve consensus. This position is supported by an analysis of examples of polemics in the history of philosophy. In addition to the life world, the concept of “constructing a new objectivity” is introduced, which is explained in another case.
