the first European festival on creativity

2016 Programme

Event #35

Gabriella Caramore

The boundaries of the soul and of the world

New boundaries are being drawn in our global geography: fleeing peoples expand from the South of the world towards the North; simultaneously, the Western model is spreading ambiguously throughout every corner of the earth. This is the moment in which redefining the frail demarcation lines between good and evil is necessary. Reason has long wondered on the motives for evil. Today, it may also be worth wondering what the reasons are for goodness. Is it a gratuitous warmth feeding the lives of creatures here and there?  Or perhaps a way of action capable of building a future for humanity? While evil acts on the surface, as Hannah Arendt affirms, goodness delves deep, into the foundation of things, at the edges of history. In those spaces where, perhaps, the possibility of new boundaries for humanity may be created.
