Abstract
The phenomenological science, investigating sense, pursues a new epistème. The phenomenological method opens new paths to a new form of science which, rather than explain childbirth from a causal point of view, tries to comprehend its sense, connecting it to existential and historical situation, thereby guarding its complexity.
Human life as a whole is born from a woman’s body. The maternal body is origin of the “coming into the world”, fundamental element in the relationship between human and medical science, and in the ethics of care.
