In fact, he told me that he had been to the presentation of some books by some authors in my city and that he was disappointed because they seemed to him only performances without merit and … Continua a leggere The Life Inside My Books
Sometimes we forget our name… is it because we have got crazy or because we have have started to listen to the names of the life all around us? An astonishing and amazing experience that sometimes can occur although you are not some mental or senility disease affected. It has happened to me yesterday. At first, I was scared and confused.

Il demone dell’amore (Gabrielli, 2019) di Francesco Comina e Genny Losurdo con Ágnes Heller, è un dialogo serrato sull’amore nel quale, attraverso la letteratura e la filosofia, i tre convitati a questo banchetto delle emozioni cercano di comprendere che cosa sia davvero l’amore. È difficile definire l’amore, eros, tanto che ci si chiede se esista ancora così come la cultura classica lo ha rappresentato o se quel … Continua a leggere Comina e Losurdo con Ágnes Heller: Il demone dell’amore
This barbed wire that still tears the skin after so many years is the same as that which defines the boundaries beyond time, today, between each person and his freedom. Those offenses, the slanders, the lies and the violence that dissolved in smoke in the already gray sky, are now spreading to the bottom of the sea where the dull thud of the bodies that … Continua a leggere It’s Time to Give Man a Chance
I begin to suspect we are not able to live following any rule which is against violence and prevarication. Do we really need such bullies to organize our life? Do we really believe that the instigation towards hate and violence is the law to establish our new societies? I fear we have lost the mind. Comincio a sospettare che non siamo in grado di … Continua a leggere Find Back Your Mind
I have often dealt with the Day of Memory, I have always said that memorizing means giving back to the present and to life all those voices unjustly silenced and doing it looking at the present time which, alas, is often a deaf and silent time in front of the human voice which for other reasons, from other cultures, still bears the sign of the … Continua a leggere My Memory Day: Janusz Korczak

È un breve saggio, ma denso di significati e motivazioni, di domande e riflessioni cui solo ciascuno può dare … Continua a leggere Judith Butler: A chi spetta una buona vita?
Don’t fall in the trap of the evil ignorance, please! Don’t do that! Ignorance is a damage to every society not its appreciation and praise. Distrust those who use culture as a weapon against their imaginary enemy, and focus your attention on the mistake they do when they quoth immortal books or thoughts changing them in order to make you believe they are prepared, they … Continua a leggere The Labyrinth of Our Discontent
Thinking about the prisons of soul I am looking for infinite spaces even in closed ravines and rowdy of the profound egoisms that surround us. I have dreams to dream, thoughts to create and wings to fly. Pensando alle prigioni dell’anima Cerco spazi infiniti persino negli anfratti chiusi e turbolenti dei profondi egoismi che ci circondano.
