Jürgen Moltmann, « Die moderne Gesellschaft und die Zukunft / La société moderne et l'avenir », Revue d'Histoire et de Philosophie religieuses, ID : 10.3406/rhpr.1989.5004
Jürgen Moltmann : Modern society and the future. Modern society is in the process of ruining its own future. The fear of «no future» has genuine causes : it is the result of widespread unemployment, the system of nuclear deterrents, and the ecological crisis. Justice can alone lead to peace and open up a future to the members of the community, to the human community in its successive generations, to the generations of humanity in its natural environment and to the Creation before God.
