ABSTRACT

We urgently need to share our competencies, skills, and responsibilities. We need to envision the future together by deeply changing our ways of thinking about the planet and the relationship with all other living beings. The future concerns and challenges us. This book is a manifesto, which opens a path that we can only build all together.

In the postscript, I would like to share some notes for this common future: the first concerns a reflection on the strength of vulnerability; the second the inherent vibrancy of the everyday; the third the corporeality of words, paying homage to Merleau-Ponty; the fourth the conception of the future as a living project that offers itself to us in its making (and unmaking); the fifth concerns the infinitesimal yet crucial space where our free will finds expression; and the sixth and final note concerns a view of nature as a manifestation of the sacred.
