THE ENIGMATIC FATE OF PHILOSOPHICAL SUBSISTENCE ON THE GROUND OF TRANSCENDENTAL PHENOMENOLOGY

Tema ovoga rada je zagonetnost opstanka filozofije i filozofa u našem vremenu. Autor se poziva na sumnjama ispunjena razmišljanja ostarelog Edmunda Husserla, ukazujući na njegov stav da su filozofi funkcioneri čovečanstva, čija se filozofija bori za istinsku čovečnost, u ovim našim zlosrećnim vremenima. U radu se ističu promene koje su se desile tokom vremena koje nas deli od prvih decenija XX stoleća kada je nastajala fenomenologija, ukazuje se na iskušenja i stranputice pred kojima se sve vreme nalazi savremeno mišljenje, ali i na njegovu neophodnost na tragu iskustva fenomenologije koja je i danas živa, a što potvrđuje neprestajanjem da bude izvor pitanja o svetu i ljudskom opstanku u njemu.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
