Abstract

One of the ways to honor Husserl is to reflect on the developments which have taken place in his philosophical legacy. We honor him as the hero of a philosophical undertaking which, in this tormented century of ours, opposed the barbarism of modern warfare, intolerance, racism, and the exploitation of the destructive potential of science and technology with a rational dream of humankind striving to forge bonds of solidarity on the indestructible foundation of living reason.
