Abstract
The subject of this article is the enigma concerning the subsistence of philosophy
and philosophers in our time. The author invokes the doubt-filled reflections
of aged Edmund Husserl, stressing the latter’s view that philosophers
are functionaries of mankind, whose philosophy fights for true humanity in
our star-crossed times. The article then points out the changes which occurred
since the first decades of the 20th century, when the development of phenomenology
began. Furthermore, it draws attention to the challenges and divergences
with which contemporary thought is constantly faced, but also to the
necessity of following the trail marked by the experiences of phenomenology
which is still alive today, as confirmed by the fact that it never ceased to be a
source of questions about the world and human subsistence in it.
