Let's start with a quasi-definition. The anticipationism is the future oriented philosophical attitude, according to which we are allowed to try a concrete, conceptual and practical anticipation of some pieces of future, The selection criteria are mostly ethical, political and economic. Grounded between Marx- ist political philosophy and common reformism (1), anticipationism operates within the symbolic sphere: showing, here and now, that it is possible to already test or live some potentialities of the future. I defended the idea that anticipa- tionism is the essential approach of the intersection between art and philosophy (2) because philosophy itself can turn many of its arguments in artistic practices (but also in architecture and design).

Abstract This article proposes an aggiornamento of the "sustainable development" ideal. It addresses four controversial terms, which enable us to foresee that "sustainable development" will very likely become the first utopia of the Anthropocene epoch. Taking into account the Agenda 2030, if the decision criteria are based on the rhetoric of international relations, particularly as used within the framework of the United Nations, it can certainly be concluded that sustainable development has already become the great contemporary utopia. However, if global governance is used as the criterion, this may not be the case, since environmental governance institutions are not yet comparable to development governance institutions. Strictly speaking, there is no global governance of sustainability, unless this notion is restricted to environmental issues.

The article describes the use of geological metaphors in humanistic and social memory studies. It shows how geological concepts are used in contemporary research and theoretical reflection on memory: what phenomena and processes they describe, how their use in a distant scientific discipline is justified, and how comparisons are made between the meaning of a given term in geology and its meaning in memory studies. The considerations are illustrated with the example of two metaphors: sediments of time and the Anthropocene.

Il trattato di Jürgen Renn sull'evoluzione della conoscenza presenta una sintesi di numerosi studi sul contesto storico-sociale del concetto di "rivoluzione scientifica", proposto da Kuhn (1962). Una rivoluzione scientifica è il momento culminante di una fase di incubazione ed è seguita da una fase di istituzionalizzazione. Questo saggio discute alcuni concetti (civiltà e Stato, nazionalismo e sovranità, Stato e rivoluzione, Antropocene e cosmopo-litanismo) necessari allo scienziato sociale per affrontare le sfide contemporanee dell'Antropocene.

Children live with greater risks than adults of being affected by climate change and other environmental phenomena. For example, mortality is greater in children affected by malaria and dengue fever, two diseases whose spread is increasing as a result of climate change. This book analyzes different ideas about what constitutes a good childhood during the time period proposed to be named the Anthropocene: the epoch of man. Based on a critical tradition and based on a focus on how the adult world creates desirable childhoods, the author asks the question of which ideal childhoods emerge and which children are given a place in the Anthropocene. Through critical analyses, ideas about childhoods in the Anthropocene as innocent, special and responsible are identified and problematized. The book studies what takes place at the intersection between ideas about childhood and the state of the Anthropocene in three different arenas: political climate activism, educational research aimed at younger children and literature for children aged 6–12 with environmental and climate themes. The author argues for the importance of the role and responsibility of the adult world in the Anthropocene epoch and that children's lives and existence should be the starting point for decision-making and policy for climate and the environment.
The book is aimed at researchers in the fields of childhood sociology, green humanities and pedagogy, as well as students in pedagogy, environmental science and child and youth science.
