“Life does not live,” reads the epigram that opens Minima Moralia by Theodor W. Adorno. In the age of its disintegration, in the context of fragmented reality, in which all master narratives have been shaken by an imponderable violence, planetary consciousness encounters existence in its incomprehensible singularity. As fragmented as the world she hopes to experience, cluttered with material and historical debris, philosophy is now faced with totalitarian unanimity, and she now chooses disintegration. To be a fragment among the fragments. A fragment that does not find in the other what interrupts it, but what continues it. Imagined as a long letter, or as an endless conversation with the Friend, as well as with the Foreigner, philosophy experiences from its very inception the paradoxical condition of being at the same time in the search for a common eccentricity, a remote and unoccupied position, and, together with the other, for an inhabitable planet.

The Planetary Conversations with Giovanbattista Tusa seek to activate practices of thought that aim at decolonizing the future from our present with its belief that everything will be decided by us, that everything has to do with us and has to respond to us. Futures swarm. They become multitudes when freed from the tyranny of a unique, totalitarian present, which has dared to englobe the time to come.
