Abstract
The essay faces up to the topic of “crisis” from the perspective of historical and so-ciological 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 sym-bolic and material effects and assumptions, in the same breath. The subject of his considera-tions 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.
