This topic unfolds from the quote of a famous text of the Viennese writer of early XX century, Karl Kraus. This "great times" gathers a number of texts that help think our present in political, social, ecological terms, etc. Contributors to this file are the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito (on bio-politics and post-democracy), the French philosopher Frédéric Neyrat (on matters of political ecology, Marx and the Anthropocene), Pedro Feijó (on gender issues), and the Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro is interviewed.
