Abstract

The essay aims to show that globalization calls for a new relationship between political philosophy and objective reality. Through the use of concepts taken from French contemporary philosophy, from Guattari to Stiegler, the author criticizes the confusion between Deleuze's concept of «event» as a virtual production of sense and the modern theory of «augmented reality». In the last section of his paper, he explains his idea of «Con-temporaneity» as a shared experience of common temporariness, and also suggests some possible developments of political philosophy beyond the tradition of the «history of concepts».
