Thinking Through Crisis in Latin America<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Juan F. Egea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crisis, krisis, \u03ba\u03c1\u1fd0\u0301\u03c3\u1fd0\u03c2: as with many concepts rooted in Ancient Greece, exploring its etymology becomes an inevitable first step in understanding what this ubiquitous term signifies today.  Both reassuring and potentially misleading, this search for a primal meaning features prominently in virtually any exploration of what the word \u201ccrisis\u201d means\u2014or encompasses\u2014today.  As a noun, the word has had legal, theological, and, more notably, medical usages validated by authorities such as Thucydides, Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Galen.  Since its verbal root, krinein<\/em>, can be translated as \u201cto choose,\u201d \u201cto judge,\u201d or \u201cto decide,\u201d the term\u2019s meaning splits from the outset into what is ultimately the difference between a condition\u2014a decisive moment\u2014and the act of reaching a verdict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
