“…The history of the term crisis dates back at least to the Greek physician, Hippocrates, and his deployment of crisis as the point in the progression of disease at which either the illness would begin to triumph and the patient would succumb, or the opposite would occur and natural processes would lead to recovery (Heffferman, ). That is a compelling analogy, but it is imperfect and, worse, misleading.…”

In this Forum piece, I propose an alternative conceptual model, one that replaces the crisis event with the claim of urgency made by a leader as the focal unit of analysis. The proposed crisis‐as‐claim model insists that no claim of urgency is legitimate per se. From the perspective of the researcher, the crisis‐asclaim model reverses cause‐and effect from the event to the claim as independent variable. Finally, the crisis‐as‐claim model elides the consideration of heroic leadership so common in the crisis‐as‐event model, positioning instead leaders as claims makers always intent on advancing interests and enhancing power.

The aim of this article is to reply to George Heffernan's objections, while expanding the thesis contained in my 2016 article and subsequently developed in two other works (Trizio, 2020a(Trizio, , 2020c.…”

Despite the significant number of critical analyses devoted to the subject, the precise definition of the famed crisis-notion that lies at the heart of Husserl's last work remains controversial. The aim of this article is to defend and expand the account of Husserl's notion of the crisis of philosophy and of the resulting crisis of the European sciences that I have developed in a number of publications. This will be done by further exploring the notion of the meaningfulness of the sciences for life as well as its relation to their scientificity. Based on this result, I will then respond to some objections advanced against my proposal, and I will present further arguments to the effect that the crisis of philosophy consists in the collapse of its pretension to be scientific, and the consequent crisis of the European sciences consists in the resulting enigmatic character of their scientificity. Keywords Crisis • Scientificity • Existential significance of the sciencesRecent years have seen several attempts to interpret the key-concepts of Husserl's last unfinished work The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology (Husserl, 1976/1970). 1 Unfortunately, instead of establishing a common framework, these attempts have prompted new controversies, which point to the enduring enigmatic character of one of the most complex theoretical works of the past century (for a discussion of four such controversies, see: Staiti, 2020). Regretfully, there is considerable disagreement even about the very definition of Husserl's famed "crisis-concept". In 2016, I advanced a definition aiming to provide both a unitary account of Husserl's so called multiple "crises" and to situate it within his 1 Henceforth, Krisis followed by the page numbers of the English translation.

“…Since E. Husserl's last major work, "The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology" [1989], the idea of reconnecting the basic notions of science back to their conceptual roots in the pre-scientific, everyday conceptual structure of "lifeworld" in order to prevent the general crisis in public confidence in science, its concepts, methods, and findings, has become a kind of intuitively accepted common ground for subsequent attempts to reconstitute the meaningfulness and trustworthiness of science for everyday life [Føllesdal, 1988;Heffernan, 2017]. Multiple attempts by philosophers, sociologists of science, and science communicators, to find the universal remedy for persistently self-reproducing disconnectedness between various sciences and relevant everyday "natural" belief-structures, have proved to be not fully successful.…”

One of the recent “crises” experienced by science is associated with a decline in its public support. We conducted two factorial surveys among university students aiming at broadening our understanding of the information cues influencing the wider publics' judgments of science. We found that sociological and criminological research results are perceived as less plausible compared to neuroscientific and physiological research, but as more plausible than results from genetics. In contrast with the previous data on the importance of funding and institutional prestige cues as the indirect indicators of the research quality among academic experts, we discovered the absence of any effects of funding or institutional prestige for the selected type of general audience.
