Husserl attacked Heidegger as remaining in the natural attitude

Evidence

For him, Heidegger’s philosophical error was to remain on the level of the ‘natural attitude’ or ‘common sense’. This seems an odd accusation: what could be wrong with that? But Husserl meant that Heidegger had not cast off the accumulated assumptions about the world that should have been set aside in the epoché. Obsessed with Being, he had forgotten to do a basic step in phenomenology. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 229
