PHENOMENOLOGY OF LATE HUSSERL AS PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY
Ante Pažanin
; profesor emeritus Sveučilišta u Zagrebu
Sažetak
Starting from the view that Husserl was the most thorough critic of modern
science and of the crisis which seized the European humanity and the
entire world, the author meticulously analyses Husserl’s famous treatise
“Philosophy and the Crisis of European Humanity” (1935), which expresses
an effort to develop the transcendental phenomenology starting from the
historical world of life. The fundamental efforts of late Husserl are directed
towards overcoming every “idealism and realism” in new historical thinking
of the world of life with no deviation into historicism. Husserl’s Crisis
of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology (1936) was the
most influential work not only of its author, but also of the entire philosophy
of the time. Husserl envisaged the world-historical task of phenomenology to
explore and develop in our scientific-technological age not only science and
technology, but the rationality also of other forms of culture as man’s realization
of freedom from art and politics to ethics and philosophy. In this way, the
crisis of modern humanity and its science was to be overcome in the “worldhistorical
process”. In that sense it is noteworthy that Husserl concludes his
treatise with the thought that there are only two ways out of the crisis of European
subsistence: a “decline of Europe” or a “rebirth of Europe from the spirit
of philosophy”. The author demonstrates how phenomenology in late Husserl
becomes practical philosophy, which, as a “rebirth of Europe from the spirit
of philosophy”, and by the same token as a confirmation of realization of the
“inherent reason”, inherent to mankind as such, encompasses finite and infinite
“ideals for individual people in their nations”, as well as “ideals for the
nations themselves” and for “the expanding synthesis of nations” (Husserl).
