Husserl takes his ideas about perception further. "How do we begin to categorize something as how it relates to another without examining consciousness?".

"The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology" published
Husserl's last great work, where he provides history of philosophy and philosophy of history. As Husserl states in Part 1, "The Genuine Spiritual Struggles of European Humanity" as such takes the form of struggles between philosophies or non philosophies. Which retain the word but not the task and the still vital philosophies. But vitality of the latter consists in the fact that they are struggling for their true meaning thus the meaning of a genuine humanity. -
