Abstract:
Beyond such traditional paradigm of studying the future as - Future studies ,STEEP (Social, Technological, Economic, Environments and Political),foresight, etc., what might it look like, if philosophy engages the future more distinctly? What kind of philosophical thinking is required for supporting a further evolution of time-concept, for inducing re-conceptualization of time? What is the nature of the future? Is the future(time) an entity, a concept or a reality, etc? What if one re-conceptualizes time as dimension of thinking, how does it change the outcomes of thinking? What kind of the changes in the world-picture may one expect? What ethical, legal, epistemological and metaphysical goods would emerge from this study? How may it impact on human behavior? What kind of discrepancies in behavior outcomes may one expect depending on the mental difference in representation of time flow? This is the focus of the panel. The panel will go beyond such established domains of enquiry such as future studies, strategic foresight, futures thinking, future, futures research, that engage the future, to apply philosophical methods of enquiry to engage the future. It will expand and develop the form of knowledge that engages the future more philosophically. The panel will also address such issues as the mind's ability to produce the multiple mental representations of time flow, its relevance for causality modeling and for shaping the behavioral outcomes.
