Resilience thinking and theory can be conceptualized in several ways. One is to work with it as a fashionable concept but essentially a mirror term for other concepts and theories (for example, stability, resistance, plasticity). The other is to describe resilience as a concept whose use disguises neoliberal policies and ideology. A third option is to map resilience as a determinant of a conceptual field that attempts to capture a significant dimension of the efforts in current societies, communities, and individuals to overcome various types of crises. This issue proposes conceptualizing resilience in this third context as a new relationship between humans and their environment in multiple forms and contexts. Thus, this monothematic issue aims to explore and show fundamental aspects of general resilience theory while focusing on modern society's different layers of resilience that can be considered crucial to its functioning. The challenges associated mainly with climate change, erosion of democracy, and health crisis caused by COVID-19 put the classical institutions of modernity under pressure. Resilience thinking helps to understand these challenges. The main focus of the issue will be on social and political resilience.

Reflection on Hegelian philosophy produced a split between the so-called “Old Hegelians” (Rosenkranz, Haym, Erdmann, Fischer), characterized by their interest in preserving Hegel's historical legacy, and the “Young Hegelians” or “Left Hegelians” (Feuerbach, Ruge, Marx, Stirner, Bauer, Kierkegaard), who tended to overcome Hegelianism. In spite of this division, both groups proposed discussions of a political character with a religious language. It seems important to us to take up again the conceptions of politics and religion that were debated in the 19th century and that have also contributed to different lines of thought in the 20th century, such as, for example, Marxism and psychoanalysis, in order to determine continuities and ruptures with the approaches originated in the discussion with the cultural heritage of Hegelianism.
