Abstract

The present paper focuses on the theme of crisis and more specifically on the crisis of the science in Husserl. Divided into two parts, the paper initially approaches the subject in question through Husserl's critique of the presuppositions of the naturalist doctrine, the ground on which the positive sciences of nature are based. In a second moment, the paper shows that the crisis of the sciences would result from a slippage in the meaning of Geometry and more particularly from a fundamental forgetfulness of the pre-scientific world, through which the sciences would lose sight of their original relationship with the world, leaving behind the forgotten foundation of meaning of the natural science.
