S’acostuma a definir el concepte «crisi» en termes de «falta», sigui quina sigui la crisi de la qual es tracta (econòmica, moral, social, etc.). Això determina l’actitud que s’adopta davant d’una crisi: s’anhela tornar a l’estat anterior, que es considera ideal. Considerem que la idea subjacent en aquest concepte de crisi, a saber, la possibilitat d’aconseguir la síntesi del procés dialèctic,
en paraules de Hegel, o la fi de la història, segons Fukuyama, és perillosa, perquè ens condemna a l’acomodament en les coses sabudes i a la repetició eterna del mateix. En aquest article, recorrent al pensament de Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch i Jacques Derrida, proposem un concepte de crisi alternatiu que posa l’accent en l’obertura per davant de la completesa i en l’avenir per davant del present. Sospitem que no existeix l’anomenada «situació ideal», sinó que estem permanentment en crisi, i que es tracta d’un fenomen positiu.The concept of «crisis» is usually defined as a «lack», no matter which crisis we mean (economical, moral, social, etc.). This determines the attitude towards a crisis: we wish to return to the previous stage, considered ideal. We believe that the idea that underlies this concept of crisis, that is, the chance of reaching the synthesis of the dialectical process, as Hegel put it, or the end of history, as described by Fukuyama, is dangerous, since it results in the accommodation in what is already known and in the eternal repetition of the same. In this article, we fall back on the thought of Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Jacques Derrida to put forward an alternative concept of crisis which lies emphasis on the opennes rather than the completedness, and on the to-come rather than the present. We consider that the so-called «ideal situation» does not exist and that, instead, we are in a permanent crisis which should be regarded as a positive phenomenon
