Husserl shows why all fields have a conundrum about foundations
and indiscernibles at the origin.
It is because intellectual constructions first emerge naively in the
already-made world preceding the act of reflection. The already-made is also the cultural root out of which all examination grows -- ultimately the most basic indefinables are performances rather
than ideas -- the "basis from which."

The big problems are inside, in the concepts we use -- the
handhold system, upon which we build our sciences -- the truly Cartesian
reflection will take this final jump -- this is a jump into the world we live in and in which we face the problem of orienting ourselves in a positive sense of life-meaning -- a sense of our own responsibility -- thus to lose the world by suspending our judgments about it, and to regain it by self-examination. Thus at the end of his long series of experiments in the Cartesian spirit, Husserl comes back to his initial idea -- Turn back into yourself: truth dwells in the inner man -- know thyself!
