Sumario:The article offers various approaches elaborated by Heschel, a 20th century rabbi philosopher, advisor to Martin Luther King, who alluded to the characteristics of the decline of the contemporary world. In turn, from the hopelessness that arises from a crossroads like that, different approaches are offered to consider the value of the crisis and the philosophical and mystical guidelines offered by Heschel to build a renewed vision of reality are shown. In this way, the elaboration of meanings for personal existence arises from critical thinking and the acceptance of the restlessness that derives from existing in a chaotic world.
