Crisis, ontology and kenosis

Having developed the idea of the crisis in a deeper perspective, and using the method of
deca-dialectical of Mario Ferreira dos Santos, it is possible to search for a way for: “abstraction of one of the opposites, whose positivity is now denied or reduced to another.” (SANTOS, 2017, p.75)
It is also necessary, as the philosopher points out in his method: “we are saved from skepticism and dogmatism, which are two positions of crisis on the gnosiological possibility of man.” (page 79)
We want to go beyond thinking to point out the overcoming of the crisis, not that the thinking in essence of Mario Ferreira is not enough in essence, but an update is necessary, to overcome what he calls crisis thinking, to structure a philosophy of crisis: “And, consequently, of having a critical view of the crisis of finite existence.” (Idem)
The essential difference is that Mário Ferreira goes to a path of synthesis which he calls Concrete Philosophy, which points in the book in several sections as a complementary reading to understand his thinking, what is proposed here is a radical ontological revival.
Thus he proposes, in addition to the ontology, Kenosis, according to Valodomer Koubetch, “Kenose: Kenosis, kenotic, kenoo, to empty, to extenuate, to reduce to nothing; State of humiliation, “and this is necessary because we must admit that we do not have the answer ready, we do not have the discourse or if we prefer the single narrative for crisis thinking, and we rely on the help given by the Brazilian philosopher to speak in the Philosophy of Crisis , Identifying it in essence.
One can then enumerate output as a trinitarian ontology, if there is a tension between opposing poles of discourses described in deca dialectical, one can think of a logic of the Other, the non-self, or radically of the kenotic emptiness where it can emerge in the double emptiness , a third state.
The comparison with the trinity is inevitable, since in the theological discourse the reality of Jesus Christ, Son / Word of God, who, being God, the Second Person of the Trinity, annihilated, humbled and assumed the human condition, made his kenosis, Opening a new reality.
The discourse of dialogue, dialogism and polyphony can be exhausted, but all are not enough if there is no possibility in the opposing tensions of opening a Kenosis, if done by two speeches or two convicted persons, a third non- You as a trinitarian ontology, an overcoming of dualism, not without tension or without contradiction, but new.
