The aim of this seminar is to venture into three themes and concepts that form and sustain the philosophy of warnings. In order to outline this philosophy, it is necessary to understand the post- metaphysical connotations of hermeneutics and aesthetics after Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Gadamer. Interpretation and art have become realms where ‘Being’ takes place, that is, existence emerges and resists the ongoing return to order and realism in the twenty-first century. But if the ‘greatest emergency is the absence of emergency’, as I claim, how can we know which emergency to prioritise? What is a real emergency? This theory is meant to question why climate change, social inequality, and viral pandemics are not addressed, even though we are constantly warned of their emergency. Throughout this seminar, we will attempt to carve out the onto- logical meaning of interpretation, art, and warnings in order to individuate alternative ways to exists, that is, ‘being at large’.
