Signs from the Future

Santiago Zabala asks us to think of philosophy as a warning, a call to heed ominous "signs from the future."

Santiago Zabala is ICREA Research Professor of Philosophy at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. He is the author of a number of books, including Why Only Art Can Save Us: Aesthetics and the Absence of Emergency (2017) and, with Gianni Vattimo, Hermeneutic Communism: From Heidegger to Marx (2011), both published by Columbia University Press. Zabala has also written opinion articles for publications including the New York Times, Al Jazeera, and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
