Abstract

In 1935-1936, Husserl claims that we are living in a crisis of Reason. This crisis would be the result of the way in which scientific objectivity colonized the sciences in general, leading us to a rationality completely disconnected of our lives. For Husserl, the meaning of the Reason was established by the Greeks and since then it would have been distorted, arriving, in the contemporaneity, in a crisis. From this position, in 1947, Horkheimer reaffirms that we live in a crisis and writes a history of Reason very close to that presented by Husserl. This paper aims to show whether Horkheimer’s position on the problem of Reason was merely a “comment” on Husserl’s work as says Moura, or whether Horkheimer would have presented us something new.
