        Massimo Cacciari's reflections on crisis (krisis) and its implications for Europe's future are more urgent than ever. This article traces his shift from an early Marxist view of crisis as a historical condition to be overcome to his later engagement with pensiero negativo (negative thought), where crisis is seen as an ineradicable fissure at the heart of reality. Drawing on thinkers such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Schopenhauer, as well as religious and mythological sources, Cacciari argues that crisis must be embraced rather than resolved. He extends this understanding of crisis beyond philosophy to his political reflections, portraying Europe as an unresolved paradox--its identity shaped by the perpetual interplay of difference and belonging. Rejecting both reactionary nostalgia and technocratic homogenization, Cacciari envisions a Europe that must navigate its uncertainties through intellectual and cultural openness.
        Les réflexions de Massimo Cacciari sur la crise (krisis) et ses implications pour l'avenir de l'Europe sont plus urgentes que jamais. Cet article retrace son évolution d'une vision marxiste de la crise comme condition historique à surmonter à son engagement ultérieur dans la pensée négative, où la crise est considérée comme une fissure indéracinable au coeur de la réalité. S'appuyant sur des penseurs tels que Nietzsche, Heidegger et Schopenhauer, ainsi que sur des sources religieuses et mythologiques, Cacciari soutient que la crise doit être acceptée plutôt que résolue. Il étend cette compréhension de la crise, au-delà de la philosophie, à ses réflexions politiques, décrivant l'Europe comme un paradoxe non résolu -- son identité étant façonnée par l'interaction perpétuelle de la différence et de l'appartenance. Rejetant à la fois la nostalgie réactionnaire et l'homogénéisation technocratique, Cacciari envisage une Europe qui doit surmonter ses incertitudes grâce à l'ouverture intellectuelle et culturelle.
