News and brain candy for the philosophy community
Sometimes, there appears to be a general feeling that the humanities are in crisis, or somehow not up with the times. As an antidote to this crisis, a return to humanist values is then proposed, which would enable the humanities to defend its legacy as valuable in its own rights.
In Future Humanities, we would like to reject both of these tendencies: on the one hand we believe far from being in crisis, the humanities are rather going through a paroxysm which will ultimately lead to transformation; on the other hand, we believe that the humanities should look beyond and critically challenge their humanist legacy and seek fruitful transversal interactions with contemporary sciences and arts.
