The present article deals with the problem of the crisis diagnosed by Husserl as an existential crisis of the meaning of Philosophy and its task before the sciences in general. The crisis of the sciences is the result of a deeper and existential crisis, the crisis of Philosophy, which, by losing its universal and guiding character, by doubting its reflective, questioning and rational power (not thought of as in modernity), has the result of being set aside. The positive and technical sciences dominated contemporaneity and assumed the reins of knowledge in the conduct of human life. The consequences of philosophy's skepticism towards itself create all kinds of knowledge, produce scientific aberrations and pseudosciences. The distance from the reflexive, original and universal character of Philosophy to knowledge reflects and contributes to the relapse to barbarism, war and lack of existential orientation of humanity. As a solution, Husserl proposes a renewal in Philosophy, as will be seen in the article in the Kaizo magazine of 1923, and later, he proposes the rebirth of Philosophy in the conference The Crisis of European Humanity and Philosophy of 1935 and also rescues the theme in the work that was his philosophical testament The crisis of European sciences and transcendental phenomenology. An introduction to the phenomenological philosophy of 1936. The discussion of the existential crisis of humanity begins before Husserl's best-known texts on the subject. Philosophy in a larger context of humanity's crisis.
