THE CONCEPT OF EUROPE AS A RATIONAL COMMUNITY: THE RECONSTRUCTION OF HUSSERL\u27S UNDERSTANDING OF EUROPEAN CULTURE

Svoj rad autor posvećuje prof. Richardu Wisseru. Članak je kritička analiza Husserlova spisa Kriza europskih znanosti i transcendentalna fenomenologija. Autor najprije određuje Husserlovu dijagnozu krize znanosti, filozofije i kulture, a zatim elemente i mehanizme te krize. Uzrok krize europskih znanosti i kulture leži u zaboravu istinske produktivne ljudskosti. Izvorna ljudskost ne može se utemeljiti niti objasniti iz svojih objektivacija, već isključivo analitikom njezine produktivne imaginacije. Autor se posebno bavi krizom duhovnih znanosti, za koje drži da su proizvele i gubitak uvida u konačnu svrhu postojanja Europe kao tvorevine povijesnog ljudstva.The article is dedicated to Professor Richard Wisser. It is a critical analysis of Husserl\u27s essay The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology. The author first outlines Husserl\u27s diagnosis of the crisis of science, philosophy and culture, followed by the elements and the mechanisms of that crisis. The root of the crisis of European science and culture lies in foregoing the genuine productive humanity. The authentic humanity cannot be based nor explained from its objectivizations but solely through the analysis of its productive imagination. The author also deals with the crisis of spiritual sciences, which he claims have brought about the loss of insight into the ultimate purpose of the existence of Europe as a brainchild of the historical humanity
