El temps de la promesa

Do you remember the last promise you have made or have been made to you? This is how this essay begins in which Marina Garcés explores the concept of promise. We live in a society terrified of the future, obsessed with predicting and projecting, controlling and planning. But who dares to promise something today? This book offers us the historical, philosophical and literary keys to the power of the promise and its current fragility. Promising, the author tells us, can be a form of rebellion that introduces the battle for the value of the word in an uncertain present and a threatened future. An incisive and hopeful text.
