Cautioned about authoritarian leaders, climate change, technological dystopias, or other catastrophes, we fail to take action or even take them seriously. Too often warnings are dismissed--much like the artists, scientists, environmentalists, and intellectuals who deliver them. Why don't we listen? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSantiago Zabala asks us to think of philosophy as a warning, a call to heed ominous \"signs from the future.\" He argues that warnings--as distinct from predictions--invite us to see the possibility of a radical break from the present. Predictions tell us to submit to the inevitable, but warnings ask us to take part in shaping a different future. A philosophy of warnings offers an alternative horizon of understanding beyond \"the real\" and \"the normal,\" and a politics of warnings helps us confront hidden emergencies through collective interpretation, listening, and action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigns from the Future\u003c\/i\u003e places thinkers such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, de Beauvoir, and Arendt into conversation with present-day politics, art, and culture, drawing our attention to unheeded warnings. This timely and engaging book shows why unresolved crises from the past must be interpreted anew today if we are to imagine an equitable future--or a future at all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantiago Zabala is ICREA Research Professor of Philosophy at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona.
