The theme of remains (from domestic waste to trash) offers a philosophical test case for our projects of order and meaning, both personally and socially. Through a multilayered argumentative articulation, ranging from the theories of the subject (in light of the psychoanalytic problem of repression and the double) to a few paragraphs of Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit, and to the topic of the current technological waste (WEEE), the present paper attempts to lay the philosophical foundations of a “new humanism”. To that effect, the conclusions center on the figure of Aurelio Peccei, the founder of the Club of Rome, and on that of Jorge M. Bergoglio. Both of them propose, as a response to the danger of an imminent environmental catastrophe, a new anthropological model and a new theory of action.
