Summary/Abstract: The current issue of this journal will not take the usual format, because the articles published in it do not revolve around a specific subject as such. As the reader will be able to see for themselves, the topics are diverse and varied, but if there is indeed a common denominator amongst all these themes, it is undoubtedly “resistance”. What is thinking, after all, if not creating as much as resisting, or saying “no”? To conceive without anything else would be nothing but empty thinking, while opposing something through saying no is true movement of the mind. The best way for philosophy at the beginning of the twenty-first century to resist, facing the process of regression that has entered into the public space and the racist obscenity that imposes itself in official speeches, is no longer to be ok with interpreting the world, but merely to become so: especially by multiplying the gestures of openness and the circulation of men and ideas.
