This volume sheds light upon the omnipresent discussion of 'crisis'
in our times by returning to the thought of the two philosophers
upon which much of this talk is consciously (or unconsciously)
based, namely, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. By tracing the
narrative of the 'crisis' from Husserl's early treatment of
arithmetic and logic through to Heidegger's meditations on the
essence of technology, the author not only proposes a unified
reading of both Husserl's and Heidegger's work, but points to
important elements of the often underplayed continuity between
these phenomenologists. At the same time, the concept of 'crisis'
also illustrates the difference between Husserl and Heidegger.
Though both define the crisis as one of 'forgetting', and both view
this 'forgetting' as a matter of philosophical responsibility,
essential divergence emerges in their interpretation of this
phenomenon. Three questions uncover these points of convergence and
divergence. First, does not the 'forgetfulness' reveal itself as a
type of felix culpa, a necessary decay that now reveals itself in a
positive light, indeed, as the precondition of history itself?
Second, what is presupposed when the subjects is held responsible
for forgetting? Third, what are the political consequences of such
'crisis'-philosophy? This last question allows access not only to
hidden political aspects of Husserl's thought, but opens a further
perspective for considering Heidegger's overt political activities.
