Books at San Vio. //Les atmosphères de la politique

Present the book Carlo Severi and Giuseppe Goisis. Speakers include Pasquale Gagliardi

The first edition of the Dialoghi di San Giorgio brought together a small group of internationally renowned philosophers, historians, anthropologists and writers to reflect on and discuss the theme of “Atmospheres for freedom. Towards an ecology of good government”. The choice of subject for this book the “atmospheres of politics” arose from the conviction that for some time now when discussing the conditions required for the effective working of democracy, politicians, philosophers and academics mainly focus on laws, constitutions, and electoral methods in short the “procedures”. This meeting gave rise to a book entitled Les atmosphères de la politique. Dialogue pour un monde commun, edited by Pasquale Gagliardi and Bruno Latour. Intended for a broad French-speaking market, the book does not simply contain the proceeds of the seminar but, by making creative use of the material from it, presents the ideas expressed in a “dramatic” form”.
