Details: Product description In the new world, each of us is "busy": both in the anxious attempt to always stay connected and in sharing and exchanging something. Humanistic culture, reduced to a subject for specialists and betrayed by itself for having justified barbarism, questions our concrete existence today. Tradition can speak again. His words, written on the walls of the subway and in the immaterial space of the Net, ask to be put to the test. The new generations read little, appear forgetful, do too many things simultaneously and are less able to manipulate the language, however they ask ideas to be embodied in life practices (otherwise they will not be passionate about them), and try to redefine the concept of intelligence (as coherence between what one says and what one does) and that of commitment (linking it to everyday life, not to ideology). And at least in the most active minorities, lived ethics prevail over "culturalism" and bookish knowledge, tangible humanity over disembodied humanism, concrete example over abstract ideas.
