Introduction: Crisis and the Im/possibility of Thought

The ubiquity of "crisis" and its sheer pervasiveness as a description of the contemporary world means that we do not so much write  about crisis as much as we write  from  crisis. What type of thought is possible within crisis? If crisis extends to thought itself, insofar as we find ourselves in a crisis of thought (i.e., the crisis of not being able to think beyond the crisis of thought), then what kind of thinking is possible anymore? These are the questions raised by this special issue of Performance Philosophy , introduced here by the issue's co-editors.
