The discourse generated by interactions between phenomenological and scientific perspectives is characterised by a particularly rich exchange between the specific and the general, the foundational and the applicative. That is, discussions about the insights produced by particular collaborations often feed into and enrich (rather than only occurring in succession to) debates over fundamental questions about the very possibility of any genuine cooperation between these discourses. The dialogue between phenomenology and the sciences seems to recognise almost more than any other that the conditions of its existence in general can come into view much more clearly in light of the challenges and benefits that arise in the context of specific negotiations.
