"From the beginning of time, humans have been driven by both a fear of the unknown and a curiosity to know. We have always yearned to know what lies ahead, whether threat or safety, scarcity or abundance. Throughout human history, our forebears tried to create certainty in the unknown, by seeking to influence outcomes with sacrifices to gods, preparing for the unexpected with advice from oracles, and by reading the stars through astrology. As scientific methods improve and computer technology develops we become ever more confident of our capacity to predict and quantify the future by accumulating and interpreting patterns form the past, yet the truth is there is still no certainty to be had. In this Very Short Introduction Jennifer Gidley considers some of our most burning questions:. What is "the future?" Is the future a time yet to come? Or is it a utopian place? Does the future have a history? Is there only one future or are there many possible futures? She asks if the future can ever be truly predicted or if we create our own futures - both hoped for and feared - by our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and concludes by analysing how we can learn to study the future."--

Le futur grec est attesté pendant plus de trente siècles dans de nombreux documents d?une grande diversité dialectale. Il a donc une histoire spécialement intéressante qu'explore cet ouvrage. Il débute par un 'Prélude' qui montre l?évolution des idées philosophiques et grammaticales des Grecs sur la notion de futur. Sa première partie s?intéresse au 'Grec archaïque et classique', début du 3e siècle av. J.-C.). La deuxième partie étudie des 'Aspects diachroniques'.0Cet ouvrage se caractérise par une très grande variété des thématiques abordées et des outils théoriques utilisés. Si la sémantique du temps, de l?aspect et des modalités joue ici un rôle de premier plan, les points de vue sont très ouverts : grammaticalisation, grammaire cognitive, comparatisme, approches morphologiques ou syntaxiques, analyse contrastive, théories énonciatives ou pragmatiques...

"This book begins with types of individuals who could create and live in ideal societies. It then discusses the state and how Wells' utopian thought requires a permanent commitment to expanding freedom. The final chapter covers death and how utopian thought can profoundly reshape the reader's understanding of position relative to current and future societies"--Provided by publisher.
