Are we prepared for the 21st century? There is room for doubt. The future seems increasingly uncertain, hard to decipher, ambiguous in its very indeterminism, sometime frankly illegible. If it is impossible to predict the future, one can at least help to shape it. To respond in a timely manner to the challenges of the 21st century, one must start by posing the right questions so as to identify possible solutions, if any, before it is too late. This is precisely the role of future-oriented studies and forward thinking as represented in this volume. Originating as it does in a UNESCO series of encounters and exchanges between scientists, intellectuals, artists, decision-makers, and leading personalities from public life, it offers a forum for an open debate, in the spirit of a new ethic of discussion, on a wide range of problems, challenges and solutions from a variety of perspectives. In short what this volume strives to achieve is to contribute to an ethic of the future.

Genocide and community violence, the loss of ethical landmarks and social "order," lack of confidence in the viability of the prevailing system and economic forces: the 20th century has painfully challenged all our certainties concerning society, history, and humankind. This volume offers reflections on the likely nature of the values of the 21st century and addresses questions such as whether aesthetics will prevail over ethics, whether the third industrial revolution and its forms of globalization will shatter culture as we know it, hasten the decline of thousands of languages, or give rise to new forms of racism or "genism."This volume, the second anthology originating from UNESCO’s "Twenty-first Century Dialogues," brings together about fifty scientists and researchers from the four corners of the world to ponder the future of values and humanity.Contributors include: Arjun Appadurai, Jean Baudrillard, Peter Sloterdikjk, Paul Ricoeur, Julia Kristeva, Paul Kennedy, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Delors, Edward O. Wilson, Nadine Gordimer, Achille Mbembe, Adalbert Barreto, Trinh Xuan Thuan.

The current world situation is fraught with potential future conflicts and calls for global responses. The point needs to be made yet again that sustainable development concerns us all and is a vital prerequisite for effectively combating poverty, since it is the poorest individuals that are most affected by drought and other natural catastrophes looming over the planet. Today, though, we understand that our war on nature is a world war…As part of the current reform of the United Nations system, a wide-ranging debate has now begun concerning the governance of the environment at a world-wide level and the need for better coordination of everybody’s efforts. [from the Preface] Unesco is actively involved in the debate as reflected in this volume that outlines some of the fundamental themes outlined here by prominent thinkers and offered as a forum for discussion.

L''humanité survivra-t-elle au siècle qui vient ? Est-elle menacée par une « bombe démographique » ? Y aura-t-il à manger pour tous ? Pourra-t-on éradiquer la pauvreté ? Allons-nous vers un apartheid urbain généralisé ? Les nouvelles technologies creuseront-elles un abîme entre riches et pauvres ? Ou permettront-elles l''éducation pour tous, à distance et tout au long de la vie ? Les femmes trouveront-elles toute leur place ? Comment lutter contre le réchauffement de la planète et la désertification ? Fera-t-on la guerre pour l''eau ? Saura-t-on maîtriser l''énergie solaire ? Y aura-t-il un miracle africain ? Dans un monde où les problèmes se mondialisent, quelles solutions globales proposer ? Comment passer d''une culture de violence à une culture de paix, et de la tyrannie de l''urgence à une éthique du futur ? Le XXIe siècle aura-t-il un visage humain, ou celui, grimaçant, du « meilleur des mondes » ? Cet ouvrage éclaire les grands enjeux du futur et propose un « nouveau départ », fondé sur quatre contrats : social, naturel, culturel et éthique. N''attendons rien du XXIe siècle : c''est le XXIe siècle qui attend tout de nous. Federico Mayor est directeur général de l''UNESCO.
