The Crisis of European Sciences

The Crisis of European Sciences refers to a critical examination of the foundations and methods of scientific inquiry in Europe, particularly in the early 20th century. It highlights concerns about the limitations of traditional scientific approaches, which often overlooked the complexities of human experience and the influence of societal factors. Thinkers like Edmund Husserl argued for a more holistic understanding of science that integrates subjective human perspectives. This crisis ultimately sparked debates about the nature of knowledge, the role of philosophy in science, and the need for interdisciplinary approaches to understand the world more comprehensively.
