If it is from our knowledge that the fundamental movement known as ‘capitalism’ is tipping our world towards the unknown, is it possible to liberate a relationship of knowledge with the modal status of our issues, which would enable us to ‘take on’ this groundswell? Modal thinking, drawing on the long traditions of thought in Europe and China, exposes reality as chance linked to the implementation of a game aimed at stakes, and makes the universal explicit as a double: the ‘moral’ contingency of all stakes; the ‘political’ necessity of an autonomous stake. By giving us the rules of a more subtle game, can we liberate the possibilities of morality and freedom for the citizens of the future?}, edition = {1}, publisher = {Georg Olms Verlag}, address = {Baden-Baden}, series = {Europaea Memoria – Reihe I}, volume = {140}, author = {Lenoir, Virgil Christian} }
