Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is the enigma concerning the subsistence of philosophy and philosophers in our time. The author invokes the doubt-filled reflections of aged Edmund Husserl, stressing the latter’s view that philosophers are functionaries of mankind, whose philosophy fights for true humanity in our star-crossed times. The article then points out the changes which occurred since the first decades of the 20th century, when the development of phenomenology began. Furthermore, it draws attention to the challenges and divergences with which contemporary thought is constantly faced, but also to the necessity of following the trail marked by the experiences of phenomenology which is still alive today, as confirmed by the fact that it never ceased to be a source of questions about the world and human subsistence in it.
