Summary/Abstract: The article proposes a reflexive theory of the conceptualizations of the capitalist crises. Reflexivity entails acknowledging that the notions of crisis do not simply and transparently reflect its essence, but can themselves reflect upon that essence. Firstly, I study the productivity of the appearance of the crisis and argue that the nature of the crisis is not given before its practical representation. Then I introduce the non-classical dialectical logic or what can be called an organon of the theories of mediating structures. Lastly, I apply the proposed theoretical construction in the analysis of the conditions for the possibility of the appearance of the current environmental crisis as a necessary and not contingent effect of the nature of capitalism.
