La lotta al terrorismo, l'insorgere di una nuova Guerra fredda, il ruolo della Chiesa, le radici cristiane dell'Europa e la sua islamizzazione: sono solo alcuni degli argomenti di riflessione proposti da Emanuele Severino in questo libro che fotografa con lucida analisi la realtà attuale. Se per alcuni la filosofia oggi si limita ad arbitrare sterili dispute tra specialisti, Severino le attribui-sce invece un ruolo chiave nel mostrare la verità o la falsità dei principi che guidano la politica internazionale, e nel tratteggiare l'inevitabile parabola distruttiva dei "macigni" del nostro tempo: cristianesimo, islam, capitalismo, comunismo, democrazia. Nella potente metafora del titolo le d...
Il nostro presente ci espone a un’inflazione di simboli dal valore e dalla forza differenti: la bandiera europea e Charlie Brown, la croce e il pane, i Beatles e Chanel, Mike Bongiorno e Maradona, il Che e la regina Elisabetta, la Gioconda e il Guggenheim, i Lego e la Coca-Cola, ma anche Arco, QAnon, la conchiglia di San Giacomo, Falcone e Borsellino e il genocidio. Non ci sono limiti a cosa possa diventare simbolo né tantomeno a cosa possa smettere di esserlo, al punto che occorre rinunciare a chiedersi cosa sia simbolo per focalizzarsi invece su quando esso si dia. Questo libro affronta tale questione partendo dai simboli che riconosciamo e utilizziamo, che abbiamo creato e distrutto, intorno ai quali costruiamo consensi e dissensi, che riteniamo eterni o che invece ci appaiono effimeri. Prodotti culturali di varia natura dei quali si può dire solo una cosa con certezza: non sono come gli altri.
