Humanity seems past. Philosophies and religions are in a period of taking stock. The dominant discipline in the human sciences is now history. Sociology, which shares the spotlight with it, is dedicated to the description of what already exists. We should be what apparently we are, what we have already shown of ourselves. As for the rest, our becoming would be prescribed by our genes, or by what has already been deciphered of them. Our growth is to have stopped one day. We are to have become at best objects of study. Like the whole living world, destroyed little by little by the exploration- exploitation of what it is instead of cultivating what it could become.
