Abstract
An established view may naively regard growth of natural sciences bonded in a predetermined order. In Crisis of European Science, Edmund Husserl suggests a totally different view. Applying a method based on his phenomenology, he tracks back the basic concepts of modern science to their historical origin. Through examining the case of generation of Galilean physics against the background of renaissance period, he offers his unique interpretation of status and meaning of science in modern man’s life. In this paper, I will shed some lights on Husserl’s phenomenological method. I will estimate critically Husserl’s judgment about the role of science in the life of contemporary Human.
