Abstract
Starting from Husserl's late text concerning the status of philosophy within history, we want to shed light on the immanent genesis of sense detected in history of philosophy. Husserl argues that philosophy in its original state involves an essential kind of naivety, i.e., the blindness regarding the lifeworld active in every theoretical act.
This peculiar blindness leads to self-interpretation of philosophy as a science of the universe of what is. But this self-interpretation cannot hold and as a consequence, philosophy found itself in danger.
I am keen to argue, that Husserl's well-known dictum "Philosophy as science, as serious, rigorous, indeed apodictically rigorous science - the dream is over." does not express his own position concerning philosophy, but particular historical self-interpretation of philosophy. Husserl puts this sense between brackets in order to inquire its essence.
From this historical reflection he gains the new way of interpreting philosophy, i.e., philosophy as kind of 'poeticizing' (Dichtung).
