Abstract
This paper focuses on the problem of foundation in science. In order to approach this topic, Michael Lynch's criticism of Alfred Schutz's demarcation between common-sense rationality and scientific rationality is cited. From this, it is claimed that the demarcation to be examined is between science as working and scientific theorizing. Regarding the former, laboratory practices are discussed based on findings of laboratory studies. Regarding the latter, a theorizing in sociology is analyzed. By these double demonstrations, it is recognized that there is no such demarcation and no need for scientific foundation, and that we should study common-sense categories and ‘scientific’ practice in their own rights.
