• Authors: Jerzy Rossa

Abstracts

EN

The essay faces up to the topic of “crisis” from the perspective of historical and sociological semantics. Troublesomeness of the crisis is a permanent fixture in any philosophy of historical time. An author sees a social reality as flows of social practices with their symbolic and material effects and assumptions, in the same breath. The subject of his considerations are selected representative theories and ideologies of “crisis” with their assumptions pertinent to philosophies of time and time politics. Considerations of the author refer to the semantic struggles in the field of “crisis” sociology. Conclusions are also referred to the epistemic standpoint of the sociology of security and its subjects matter, the vicious circle of fear, anxiety, and secular Providences in political projects of the future time.
