The objective of the study is to examine the methodological challenges that the concept of resilience presents to Axel Honneth’s social theory as a representative of contemporary Critical Theory. The study concentrates on the concept of “immanent transcendence” as a pivotal methodological framework and examines its connections to resilience theory. In this context, initially based on social-ecological analyses, resilience becomes a more critical tool for understanding and managing (coping with) the uncertainties and complexities that characterize our era of poly-crisis. The study posits that the cognitive turn associated with resilience theory can enrich the methodology of Critical Theory (in the formulation of Axel Honneth’s social theory), allowing for a deeper reflection on the limitations of our knowledge and the inevitability of uncertainty.
