| Why it’s on the list | Husserl’s last work, written under Nazi rule, arguing that modern science went wrong not in its results but in forgetting its own ground: since Galileo, mathematised nature has been mistaken for nature itself, and the lived world in which all measurement and meaning originate dropped out of view — leaving a science that can predict everything and answer no question about how to live. |
The Crisis of European Sciences
Where I heard about it
- Brendan McCord — on his Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List, March 2026, in the section on Science, Technology, and Epistemology, as the critique of scientism from inside philosophy — the counterweight to Arthur’s mechanism of technological progress and Hayek’s psychology of classification. Full list: The Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List.
Connections
