[The political philosophy of care as a civilisational horizon].

This issue of Soins, focusing on the notion of time, is published in the midst of an unprecedented global health, social and economic crisis, due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This crisis highlights a multiplicity of dimensions and timescales and raises questions, in particular, about our era and our civilisational model.

[Defining and interpreting present time].

The sociological approach to time highlights the variability in the way different societies and social groups interpret temporality. It aims in particular to explore and analyse the dominant time models of our age as well as our historical condition.
