Abstract
How can one think of the future? This question will of necessity remain indeterminate if it is taken as asking what a thinking subject imagines will take place in the future. There are no restrictions in what one is allowed to imagine. Conversely, the question becomes fruitful as soon as the future is related to the subject: How does one figure in the future? How does the future figure the subject? There are two ways of approaching such a problematic.
