Summary/Abstract: The notion of urgency has lost in the last time its unusual character; it has become "chronic emergency". The exceptional has become routine and the daily urgency tends to become a way of governing, a form of domination, a (political) lifestyle. We try to understand the current use of the term in law by showing how the world of everyday life is the pivot of the phenomenological understanding of normativity. Our focal point was the conception that Husserl had elaborated in texts related to two of his major works: Ideas II and Krisis. The ultimate goal of the essay is to answer the question: how can one insert in a already constituted typicality a differentiation and thus a mastery in such a way that the space of the ethics is opened and that means for a criticism and for a permanent adjustment of it.
