NOVITA'[1815]

Dal celebre invito di Epitteto a “uscire dalla stanza” ai casi contemporanei che interrogano coscienza e diritto, ripercorriamo duemila anni di riflessioni sull’eutanasia. Dallo stoicismo al cristianesimo, fino ai dilemmi della medicina moderna e al caso Englaro, emerge una domanda ancora aperta: chi decide il confine tra vita, sofferenza e libertà individuale?

Between Adam Smith and Karl Marx lies not a chasm, but a dialectic—a historical arc that marks birth, betrayal, and critique of modern capitalism. Contrary to popular caricature, Marx didn't simply oppose Smith. He inherited him, transformed him, and exposed the contradictions Smith could not resolve. What most people miss is that both thinkers, in radically different ways, were engaged in the project of moral political economy—a vision now largely abandoned.

When Nobel prizes become status symbols, when justice becomes performative, and when moral ignorance ascends as virtue, we are no longer simply in error—we are in decline.
