Abstract

Method and Research: It is certain that changing social structures and the emergence of new civilizations cause crises. Some social thinkers saw modern man as being trapped by the curse of modernity and called for his liberation from the project of the culture industry.
Findings and Conclusions: The beginning of the 20th century marked the end of an era of philosophical thought. The contradictory ideas of a modern era, deeply involved in technology and the power it dominated, led modern thought to fruitless dialectics.in The Nocturnal Harmony of Wood Orchestra novel, the emptiness of eternity is an example of the escape from thinking about existence.  
Conclusions: The crisis of thinking about existence and the crisis of human lack of recognition are the products of modernity that has confused man. Heidegger, a contemporary German philosopher, further generalizes the main crisis of modern man to the crisis of thinking.
