This text explores the role of philosophy in the modern era, challenging Hegel's notion of philosophy as a retrospective activity symbolized by the Owl of Minerva. The author argues that philosophy should not merely lag behind social development but should actively look toward the future. Much like Venus can appear as the morning star, philosophy has the capacity to foresee developments further ahead than both the general public and political elites. A crucial task for the philosopher is to move beyond the simple extrapolation of current trends and prepare society for unexpected and unpredictable events. The philosopher is compared to Old Testament prophets, directing attention to the coming future while accepting the risk of error. The text emphasizes the distinction between deterministic prophecies and warnings intended to avert potential dangers through awareness. Ultimately, philosophy is presented as a vital tool for navigating the future, encouraging a lack of fear toward the unknown and fostering reliance on the new and improbable.
