THE FUTURE AS A PRESENT\nCONCERN <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much human emotion,\nthought, and action is orientated to the future. Hopes and fears, plans and\nstrategies, promises and interventions, derive their meaning from future\nintentions. However, as philosophers from Aristotle to Heidegger have pointed\nout, the future is that which is not<\/em> yet. The future does not exist,\ntomorrow never comes. Therefore, the question arises as to how we should\nunderstand the future. Is the future simply non-being at the limits of the\npresent? If so, does the present have any real connection with a putative\nfuture that does not yet exist? The founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl,\nin tackling such questions stressed the future as an aspect of the present. In\nhis terms, each present consciousness is characterized by protention, in other\nwords, the anticipation of a future not as actively planned or envisaged but as\npassively expected. The present is not an abstract moment but a flow of past\nand future intentional directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference seeks to\ncontribute to understanding the future as a present concern both with respect\nto the underlying issues of temporal orientation and the pressing questions of\ntoday as we face into an increasingly uncertain future. Paper topics can\nexplore, for instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        \nActions in the present, to the extent to which they have lasting effects, will\nserve to mould the world of future generations. But are we responsible with\nrespect to future people who have not yet been born? If so, what is the basis\nof that responsibility? And, if it can be shown that we have such a\nresponsibility, to which people or peoples is this responsibility directed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        \nIn the background of much of the political debate regarding immigration is the\nquestion as to whether present actions should secure the future of a particular\nsociety to be more or less identical with the present in terms of cultural,\nreligious, linguistic make-up. Contributions that tackle questions of\nterritoriality, migration, and democratic structures would be welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        \nWhile certain forms of orientation towards the future stress continuity, there\nis a long history of messianic, utopian, and revolutionary thinking and action\nthat is premised on the hope or expectation that the future will be \/ should be\nqualitatively different from the present. Is there any basis to the claims to\nnovelty, that human action can bring about new and presumably better worlds or\nin the end is it more true to say that there is \u2018nothing new under the sun\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        \nAt a time of unprecedented technological innovation, there is a growing sense\nof inertia when it comes to decision making particularly in the face of\necological and economic crises. Robust growth seems to go hand in hand with a\nsense of collapse. It would seem that the orientation toward the future differs\nin different domains for reasons which may be contingent but which may be\nanalysable in structural terms. How do technological development, and\nenvironmental and social challenges form the anticipatory horizon of current\nand future activity in different fields? Contributions could explore how\npractitioners in different fields face up to the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
