Summary/Abstract: The article presents the nature of the crisis from the humanistic and social perspective. According to the authors, the explanation of the process of the emergence and spread of crises should be accompanied not only by economics but also by reflection in the field of philosophy, and even the sphere of political science. The study has an overview character. It was prepared using the method of analysis and criticism of the literature. A descriptive as well as an interdisciplinary approach was used. The multithreaded nature of considerations on the architecture of the crisis should stimulate a discussion that may become the basis for a more precise interpretation of crisis phenomena (a holistic view of the problems that arise around is significant). The aim of the study is therefore to indicate various possibilities of analyzing the essence of crises. The starting point for the considerations is to show the complexity of crises and their trajectories. Next, the problems of economists with predicting the occurrence of economic crises were highlighted. The last part of the research was devoted to the debate of Polish economists on the anatomy of the crisis (interpretation of the sources of crises and their implications for the broadly understood sphere of human life). In conclusion, authors formulated thesis regarding the contestation of outdated economic thinking about widely understood crisis phenomena. It turns out that crises reveal more and more areas of disorder in various spheres of human life. They also indicate the failure of economic theory in shaping the reality in the social, economic and also political space.
