In the face of profound and myriad challenges, we must approach the world with a sense of ambition and guide our thinking accordingly. This is the overarching question that animates the current volume, and it seeks to formulate these challenges and develop effective strategies for tackling them. To achieve this, the book has conducted a series of wide-ranging interviews with leading intellectuals of our time, including Nancy Fraser, Seyla Benhabib, Michael Walzer, and Etienne Balibar. These essays offer fresh perspectives on current events, ranging from the liberation of women's voices to the crisis of secularism, from populism, the pandemic, and the rise of conspiracy theories to new forms of resistance.

Rather than resorting to rigid and reductive oppositions, these essays provide critically nuanced interpretations of contemporary events and struggles. The collection brings together original and accessible points of view, selected by researchers from the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory at the University of Belgrade, in the pursuit of and safeguarding intellectual freedom.

By engaging with these thought-provoking essays, we can expand our understanding of the world and develop the tools necessary to navigate the complex challenges we face. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their intellectual engagement and contribute to a more informed and compassionate society.
