Abstract
Edmond Husserl was giving a conference in Vienna in 1935 about what he called the crisis of the sciences. His first question was if there is a real crisis of the sciences, and how he may speak of a crisis of the sciences while they are quite successful. In this context we must remember that the sciences were in a phase of development from the beginning of the 19th century until the 30's. Psychology for example was developing, and its results were thriving and unmistakable. Hence Edmond Husserl does not discuss the scientist methods. He concedes that the methods are very successful and there is nothing amiss with them. The methods of accumulating knowledge were unimpeachable regarding the perfect methods of the positives sciences and their increasing results. Why then does he talk about a crisis of sciences? Let's study in his explanation in detail.
