Summary/Abstract: Ratajczak proposes a conceptual framework to describe the condition of our times understood as an era of crisis. This crisis is described from a “subjective” perspective as a crisis of experience (following Walter Benjamin) and authority (following Hannah Arendt). Ratajczak highlights the structural link between experience and authority and explores their shared crisis. Drawing on studies in the philosophy of language, Ratajczak presents the crisis of experience and authority as a particular form of indiviuation in language.
