This book collects the essays I wrote using mimetic theory as interpretation tool in a number of fields ranging from the genesis of morals, the nature of power, the interpretation of modern history and West-Middle East relations. I therefore decided to regroup and re-edit them into a single edition to highlight the theory power in a more systematic way than it appears in the single essay and as a tribute to Rene Girard, whose books sounded to me no less than pure revelation. The core finding of Girard is that desire is what ultimately drives human action, and this desire is literally built...

Il libro tratta principalmente il lato piu squisitamente antropologico del pensiero di Hegel spiegato nelle lezioni di Alexandre Kojeve sulla "Fenomenologia dello Spirito" negli anni Trenta alla "Ecole de Hauts Etudes" di Parigi. Le lezioni danno per scontato il retroterra storico del pensiero di Hegel e per guadagnare in chiarezza di esposizione ho deliberatamente rimosso i riferimenti di Hegel ai suoi contemporanei (ad esempio, la posizione di Hegel rispetto a Kant e cosi via) mentre ho aggiunto due capitoli per mostrare come Hegel ha influenzato il pensiero successivo fino alla...

Molto piu modestamente io mi sono limitato a cercare di catturarne alcuni aspetti salienti in tre saggi e in un blog creato per le elezioni del 2013, che vengono qui riuniti in un unico volume"

"The last enemy to be destroyed shall be death," wrote St. Paul in his letters. But what if someone has already managed to defeat it? Unknown to the public, an ingenious biochemist, named Louis Picard, invented the ultimate anti-aging drug in 1981, that is known as Telomerax. The discovery of Telomerax eventually led to the collapse of society and the near-extinction of mankind, in the ruthless war that broke out. Survivors set out to design a new society, for the half-gods that individuals were becoming. An apocalyptic novel that can be happening, right now, "The Last Enemy" brings to light...
