In section 15 of the Crisis, Husserl proposes an introspective investigation of ourselves guided by the teleology of philosophy. As part of trying to understand ourselves, we must go back and look at what other philosophers in history have said in an effort to “understand the unity that runs through all [philosophical] projects in history that oppose each other and they work together in their changing forms.” To the extent that this historical analysis is personal, we are only a part of the whole history of philosophy and have a role to build on what has been previously established. To understand the teleological journey of philosophy, and how we are part of it, we cannot simply look at it from the outside. We must try to understand it from the inside - we already have the historical-spiritual connection - if we really want to know who we are. Husserl underlines that criticizing a certain current body of knowledge, a scientific or pre-scientific "Weltaschauung" is not sufficient to provide us with the answers to this philosophical search. We can only find the answers we seek “through a critical understanding of the total unity of history – our history.” There is a spiritual connection between philosophers throughout history, and a critical analysis of their philosophies over time will illuminate our path as we seek to truly understand ourselves. What Husserl is stating is that philosophy has evolved over time, with each stage revealing more than before, and we should continue on this path until “perfect intuition” is achieved. This task is entrusted to us as philosophers of today because we are, after all, officials of modern philosophical humanity; we are heirs and co-bearers of the direction of...... middle of paper...... philosophers of today, we are part of a long historical journey that began with the primordial Greek institution, and is destined to continue with the generations future until the realization of the definitive settlement. The concept of reductionism also seeks to bring together different things, different parts, to form a whole, unified form. We can trace the origins of modern scientific trends to the primitive Greek institution. From the simplistic Socratic approach of “Who am I?”, philosophical self-reflection builds on thoughts and concepts from the likes of Galileo and Socrates to current thinking. Modern scientific trends developed from the philosophies of the past are part of the philosophical path that a philosopher must take when undergoing self-reflection. They are a presentation of modern prejudices, which the philosopher must try to understand and overcome
