Abstract

The following article presents a typology of images of the future and focuses primarily on the analysis of the relationship between the present and the future. The objective is to elaborate a critical semantic of the historical times of the future. While Koselleck developped a temporal analysis of the times of the past, I propose a temporal analysis of the times of the future. The result will be a philosophy of the future which is coherent with a practical philosophy of history. Future in the emphatical sense of the word necessarily implies a possible change or break from the present – and the problems of action and moral responsibility that go along with it. The deliberations presented here end with an ethics of the future.
