Abstract

Early in World War I, Virginia Woolf wrote these words: ‘The future is dark, which is on the whole, the best thing the future can be […]’. It is tempting to assume that darkness simply hides the unknown and the threatening. It is more challenging to think of it as Woolf did: rich with possibility in even the most desperate times.We live in what many would readily describe as dark times. These times have brought (among much else) a once-in-a-century public health crisis, the continued redemption of toxic white supremacy, declining trust in and support for public institutions, and growing evidence of impending climate devastation. ‘Dark Futures’ will consider some of the scenes of this devastation and mine them for insights into our predicaments and our prospects.
黑暗的未来走向希望的哲学考古学
第一次世界大战初期,弗吉尼亚-伍尔夫写下了这些文字:未来是黑暗的,但总的来说,未来是最好的[......]"。我们很容易认为,黑暗只是隐藏着未知和威胁。如果能像伍尔夫那样去思考它,那就更具挑战性:即使在最绝望的时候,它也蕴含着丰富的可能性。这个时代(除其他外)带来了百年一遇的公共卫生危机、有毒的白人至上主义继续得到救赎、对公共机构的信任和支持不断下降,以及越来越多的证据表明气候即将遭到破坏。黑暗的未来 "将探讨这种破坏的一些场景,并从中挖掘出对我们的困境和前景的启示。

期刊介绍: Philosophy is the journal of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, which was founded in 1925 to build bridges between specialist philosophers and a wider educated public. The journal continues to fulfil a dual role: it is one of the leading academic journals of philosophy, but it also serves the philosophical interests of specialists in other fields (law, language, literature and the arts, medicine, politics, religion, science, education, psychology, history) and those of the informed general reader. Contributors are required to avoid needless technicality of language and presentation. The institutional subscription includes two supplements.
