This text explores the complex relationship between philosophy and the concept of crisis. It suggests that philosophy can analyze crisis, be affected by it, or actively work toward its resolution. The author distinguishes between a "crisis of philosophers"—the current lack of monumental thinkers like Hegel or Husserl—and a fundamental crisis of philosophy itself. A true philosophical crisis is portrayed not merely as an abstract flaw in thought, but as a historical phenomenon deeply intertwined with the crisis of human existence and contemporary society. Philosophy, as a reflection of this crisis-ridden existence, necessarily participates in it, either as a passive expression of the era or as an active force that can exacerbate the situation. Ultimately, the text argues that philosophy must embrace the crisis as a field of spiritual struggle. By doing so, it can move beyond being a mere symptom of the times and instead actively strive to overcome the crisis, siding with humanity against the dangers that threaten its foundations.
