Abstrakt

The comprehension of the nature of the crisis as forgetting and Husserl's proposed solution have set the stage for a critical assessment of Husserl's crisis-philosophy. Three specific sets of questions will be handled in this chapter. First, whether there exists in Husserl's plan for overcoming the crisis a mechanism which makes such an overcoming possible. That is, how is it that renewed philosophy actually contributes to renewed culture? How is it that renewal comes about in a large-scale, communal sense? In a second section, the question is posed whether the difficulty in conceiving of such a mechanism might not have something to do with an inevitability of the forgetting which constitutes a crisis. Finally, I investigate whether this forgetting is indeed something that could ever be overcome by an act of will.
