This philosophical work from August 1967 is dedicated to a profound analysis of the relationship between human existence and the horizon of the future. The author begins by questioning the very essence of man and what constitutes the true good for the human being. The central premise is the thesis that man is not a closed entity, but rather a project—that which he is yet to become. If human being is defined by this potentiality, then moral values and the concept of the good must necessarily be derived from this future perspective. The text thoroughly examines both internal and external obstacles that prevent individuals from maintaining an authentic orientation toward what is to come, defining this orientation as a fundamental existential stance. The future is viewed here as a sovereign authority and a source of ethical norms, with a strong emphasis on the vital distinction between true and false visions of the future. The concluding section focuses on modern humanism, which the author interprets as a movement inextricably linked to the teleological direction of humanity and its continuous process of self-creation throughout time.
