摘要

社会科学已经建立了大量接近未来的方法。回避与 "未然 "的任何直接接触，已成为处理 "未然 "假定的非事实性的主要方式。社会理论以功能、意义和结构为三大重点，为这种 "括弧 "奠定了基础。本文探讨了将 "尚未 "视为非物质对知识实践的一些影响，并指出这一传统已不再适合当代世界。文章通过 "人类世 "这一显著扩展的视角，重新审视过去的方法，探讨当代的挑战，纠正思维习惯，从而为认真对待未来性和未来化开辟道路。

Tempering the not-yet: Towards a social theory for the Anthropocene

The social sciences have established a plethora of ways to approach the future. Sidestepping any direct engagement with the not-yet has emerged as the dominant way to deal with its assumed non-factual nature. Social theory has laid the foundations for this bracketing with the three overarching key foci on function, meaning and structure. This article considers some of the consequences of treating the not-yet as immaterial for knowledge practices and shows the tradition to be no longer appropriate for the contemporary world. It frames arising issues through the significantly expanded perspective of the Anthropocene to revisit past approaches, explore contemporary challenges and trouble habits of mind in order to open up ways to take futurity and futuring seriously.

期刊介绍： An internationally respected journal with a wide-reaching conception of social theory, the European Journal of Social Theory brings together social theorists and theoretically-minded social scientists with the objective of making social theory relevant to the challenges facing the social sciences in the 21st century. The European Journal of Social Theory aims to be a worldwide forum of social thought. The Journal welcomes articles on all aspects of the social, covering the whole range of contemporary debates in social theory. Reflecting some of the commonalities in European intellectual life, contributors might discuss the theoretical contexts of issues such as the nation state, democracy, citizenship, risk; identity, social divisions, violence, gender and knowledge.
