Moving beyond the dominant logic in which present determines future possibilities, the analysis proposes a reversal: the future, in its indeterminacy, shapes the present. By engaging with key philosophical perspectives, the threshold is interpreted as a generative, relational and liminal space where transformation becomes possible. This conceptual lens allows for a renewed understanding of sustainability not as a fixed goal but as an open-ended process oriented toward a\u00a0<em>future in common<\/em>. The paper emphasizes the ethical and political significance of this shift, highlighting how sustainability entails not only intergenerational responsibility but also a reformulation of collective subjectivity, grounded in care, relationality and vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-82337c30-9624-46a1-a9b8-14b1209a19dc\" href=\"https:\/\/calumet-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borrello-THRESHOLD.pdf\">Read English<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/calumet-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borrello-THRESHOLD.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-82337c30-9624-46a1-a9b8-14b1209a19dc\">Download \u2013 ENG<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper investigates the concept of sustainability through the metaphor of the threshold, reframing the temporal relationship between present and future.
