This volume concludes this publishing project by analyzing the fascinating and controversial phenomena of contemporary art. It maintains the structure that characterizes the four previous publications, namely a gallery of images, essays by major contemporary critics and the clever juxtaposition of the most diverse objects and topics.
This volume gathers fourteen contributions written by Italian philosophers within the context of the precariousness and vulnerability revealed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic compels us to rethink what is affected most by this global occurrence yet does not end with it—that is, life. Beyond the geographical, socio-political, and medical contexts in which the reflections originate, Rethinking Life is deeply utopian, presenting aspirations toward a different configuration of life and collective living centered on relational subjectivities, interconnectedness, interdependence, and, ultimately, solidarity. How does the pandemic—what it represents and exposes—call us to rethink our notion of life? How does an episode of morbidity affect a fuller understanding of life? Can such a hermeneutic shift be dared and sustained? The sobriety of the reflections yields elegant, incisive, and direct prose of profound effect and immediacy—and a captivating, lucid, and thought-provoking narrative.

Venticinque anni, bello come un Cristo e convinto che l’unica via per sopravvivere nel mondo sia un odio esercitato con calma e raziocinio, Marcello Croce è a capo di un movimento di estrema destra che annovera picchiatori, fanatici, ma anche teorici e figure dai tratti quasi metafisici – tutte accomunate dal fatto che, per loro, vivere è come trovarsi in guerra. Grazie anche alla connivenza con certi rappresentanti politici e alla condiscendenza con cui l’opinione pubblica, ormai, guarda a molti fenomeni legati al neofascismo, Croce porta avanti la sua idea di sovversione e, nel frattempo, frequenta Silvia, una donna della borghesia romana con la quale instaura un gioco di potere ch...
