What’s natural about the natural attitude?

Abstract
In this article, I propose to explore the natural basis of the realism of the natural attitude from a transcendental point of view, with the aim of exploring a possible non-reductivist reading of the animal-human continuity. In the first section, I address the notion of attitude and the definition of natural attitude in Husserl's work. Unlike specific attitudes, the natural one does not arise from an act of the active Ego, but is "innate." In the second section, I analyze the instinctive basis of this attitude, focusing on the instinct of objectification (Instinkt der Objektivierung). Section three addresses the breaking point between natural history and the transcendental institution of the human, made possible through the sedimentation process that inaugurates language. Finally, section four deals with the forgetting of our natural basis and the possibility of recovering a sense of nature that avoids falling into "zoocentrism," that is, the reactivation of a reductivist naturalism as interpreted by E. Bimbenet.
