Description
A comprehensive philosophy of contemporary life and politics, Futurability: The Age of Impotence and the Horizon of Possibility explores our current predicament. We live in an age of impotence, stuck between global war and finance, identity and capital, unable to produce radical change. Renowned Italian theorist Franco Berardi tackles this question through a grounded yet visionary analysis of three concepts fundamental to his understanding of the present: possibility, potency, and power. He argues that the road to emancipation unspools from an awareness that the field of the possible is only limited by the power structures behind it. Berardi proposes the notion of "futurability" as a way to remind us that even within the darkness of our current crisis, a better world lies dormant. This volume presents the most systematic account to date of his philosophy, making a crucial theoretical contribution to the present and future struggle.
