Today’s crisis is usually interpreted in a reductionist way: either as an economic crisis or as the effect of the wider crisis of values, or as the cause of a more general disorientation... But it is almost always understood by means of a unidirectional and abstract mode of knowing and reasoning. This article adopts a strictly philosophical focus: it aims to show that only by paying attention to the “concrete universal,” to the “entirely human” and to the internal relations between its components, can we gain an in-depth understanding of the situation in which we find ourselves and seek appropriate solutions. It is the starting point and, in a certain way, the methodological framework for the other articles on the same topic.
