A realist approach to learning is what I propose here. This is based on a non‐epistemic dimension whose presence is a necessary assumption for a concept of learning of a life‐world as complementary to learning within a life‐world. I develop my approach in opposition to Jürgen Habermas' pragmatic approach, which seems to lack of something from a realist point of view.
