Koselleck: Crisis and philosophy of history

P ertenece the essence of the crisis the existence of a pending decision and has not yet adopted. And also belong to this crisis that is unknown what the decision provisionally to be taken. General insecurity in a critical situation is either dyed, then, by the certainty that, indefinitely as to time, but surely, with uncertainty as to how, but with full certainty, is approaching the end of the critical situation . Possible solution remains uncertain, but the end itself, the radical change in the circumstances, menacing, feared, or desired, it hopefully true for men. The crisis raises the question of the historical future. ----
of awareness of the crisis, the knowledge of political tension to its logical sequel inevitable consequences, originated in Germany a series of forecasts, symptoms themselves, while the crisis-that portend an immediate end to the current political order so far. Prophesied the revolution. (...) The plan of salvation is secularized and turned into a historical and rational approach, but this approach is the same philosophy of history which guarantees the course of time, from now on, planned events themselves. Philosophy progress provided certain non-religious, or rational, but specifically philosophical-historical-political planning that has also indirectly reaching its completion, just as, conversely, moral and rational planning, self-determining the progress of history. In the volitional act of planning was to incite, as a guarantee that the intentional project also leads to success. What does this identification of indirect policy planning within the course of history? By this identification masks the possibility of revolution, but is invoked and encouraged the revolution itself.
