Abstract

Phenomenology is not a philosophical field, but the beginning of a great revolution in the thinking of the modern world. From the outset, Edmund Husserl saw a degradation in western philosophy. He depicted his attitude towards this trend in his Crisis in a sad tone mingled with hopelessness. Initially, Husserl was optimistic about the revival of philosophy, since he believed that European civilization would not survive without philosophy. By European civilization, Husserl meant the modern world. How is it possible to revive philosophy?
