Crisis of European Sciences

The Crisis of European Sciences refers to a philosophical challenge faced in the early 20th century, questioning the foundation and certainty of scientific knowledge. Thinkers like Edmund Husserl argued that science had lost connection with subjective experience and meaning, leading to doubts about how and why we trust scientific facts. This crisis prompted a deeper examination of how we acquire knowledge, the role of consciousness, and the limits of scientific understanding, encouraging philosophy to reflect more critically on the assumptions behind scientific methods and the nature of human experience.
