Aim

Future Philosophy aims to establish itself as a leading forum for philosophical inquiry into the concept, nature, and implications of the future.

• The limits and conditions of prediction, foresight, and anticipation

• Rationality and decision-making under uncertainty

• Logic of future contingents and counterfactual reasoning

3. Ethics and Political Philosophy of the Future

4. Philosophy of Technology and Posthumanism

• The technological transformation of human existence and the anthropocene

• Posthuman and transhumanist perspectives on future identity

• The philosophical implications of AI, robotics, and digital ontology

5. History of Philosophy and Future-Oriented Thought

• Reinterpretations of historical philosophical systems in light of future-oriented questions
