Phenomenology, scientism, humanism, Western Cultural Crisis.Abstract
In this paper it is shown how the efforts of Phenomenology can help to overcome the problems that the scientistic approach to life unleashed in Western culture. I approach the evolving Western philosophical tradition as a response that re-integrates the unity of human flourishing in its right dimension.
