THE BOOK: THE FREEDOM THAT DOES NOT FREE (ed. The ship of Theseus)
An essay to rediscover a lost value, against the individualistic drift of our society.
"Since the eighties the only pivot of our civilization has become the individual and his search for unlimited freedom and growing material fulfillment. Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine force us to a sudden change of perspective. But the signs of ethical fragility of the West had already been visible for many years: the confusion between desires and rights; politics reduced to a changing style of consumption; the cancellation of history and therefore of identity; the absence of moderation in many fields of public and private action; the rejection of the values of competence, authority and formal education; the difficulty in accepting the moral categories of obligation, duty and hierarchy. A culture has spread that denies the value of the limit. We need to set limits, also to be happy as individuals." (Carlo Calenda)
