What we are talking about when we are talking about crisis? Some remarks on the research of "our present crisis"
2015
Abstract
The starting point of this chapter is the assumption that "ecological crisis" is a mere ideal type, theoretical construct, which should be subjected to critical analysis like other theories. The author argues, that the concept of crisis has been oft misused by many populistic parties for mobilisation of voters in recent years and therefore the researchers, who use this concept when describing our present, has to be very careful when speaking or writing about "crisis".
