Although criticism and crisis reached an early Spanish version, anticipating other -Italian, French, American, Portuguese, by this order-less early risers, those other versions swirled in their environment at least curious and probably ferments careful and responsive care. Not so in Spain, where precisely the mid-sixties to mid-seventies of last century, experienced a spectacular own historiography with an eye roll horizons. Today, when such neglect is compensated by increased attention from philosophy and history, attention turned toward the last reasonably Koselleck-the curd in the stunning result of the current building Begriffsgeschichte-, you may not be over the counterpoint of the earlier work, and of the atmosphere that was his own.

Published in 1959 as a first reprocessing thesis 1954, the book was conceived a little crossed past futures habitable environment. Strata are recognized in their text that refer to other boomers. And he insists on engaging in its plot the relationship, not exactly transparent, including illustration and policy. The relationship, then, between advertising and arcane; between philosophy of history and other experiences of time; monumentalization between criticism and veiling of the crisis; between indirect forms of power and the right glaring frauds. A plexus of relations that is-and what's next deconstruye- identifying as Modernity and its deployment as catastrophic reason. Koselleck's gaze glides "over this passed, and not about the past of the past such as this." This is this attention to making this work, still reading history, reading untimely.

This Spanish edition incorporates appended article "Crisis" written by Koselleck for the basic historical concepts dictionary, which he helped to edit.
