Abstract The aim of the article is to present Husserl's category of stray rationalism and its consequences for the understanding and methods of practicing science. The author tries to answer the question why the scientistic paradigm, the fixation on methodological precision and the fetishization of what is empirically verifiable can be fatal and dysfunctional for science. Scientific knowledge is treated as a process entangled in the sphere of beliefs, values, but also emotions. Thus, emotions are treated as cognitively valuable, not in opposition to what is cognitive.
