metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article addresses the reconstructed dialogue with the texts of G. Simmel (G. Simmel “Untersuchungen
  über die Formen der Vergesellschaftung”; “Über räumliche Projekten sozialer
  Formen”) and H. Bergson (H. Bergson “Histoire de l’idée de temps”) in order to analyze the
  question of how the design/creation of the future was understood by these philosophers, and
  how this question can be interpreted today. We would like to present some conditions and difficulties
  in revealing the future and the temporal nature of any project. First, we would like to
  insist on a weakness in languages spoken by a great number of people, which is that the future
  is difficult to linguistically stabilize and document: German and English do not have a future
  tense, using instead auxiliary verbs, “werden” (to become), “will”/be going to”. The study of
  the project as an intellectual (intention, idea, concept) and social phenomenon (design as a
  social action) allows us to illustrate how the future (project) becomes a task of activity in the
  present. The project transfers or shifts (Simmel) the future time to space which is always ready
  for the perception of projections, and is also an opportunity to organize future joint actions.
  We will argue that when the project is executed, when it is no longer — there is no longer
  any future. The project thus ensures the future. Or, to achieve complete circularity, we will
  introduce a third element: without the future, a group or a “we” cannot possibly exist. In our
  text, we would like to unreservedly insist that the idea of a project, or perhaps a sketch of any future theory of the project (or concept), has already been provided at the beginning of the last
  century within an imaginary encounter between Henri Bergson and Georg Simmel.
