Five Moral Pieces de Umberto Eco

Five Moral Pieces

Autor Umberto Eco
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 2002

Recalls experiencing liberation from fascism in Italy as a boy, and examines the various historical forms of fascism, always with an eye toward ugly manifestations. The author reflects on a question underlying the reflections in this book - what does it mean to be moral or ethical when one doesn't believe in God?

What makes news today, who decides how it will be disseminated contribute to the widespread disillusionment with politics in general? In the most personal of the essays, Eco recalls experiencing liberation from fascism in Italy as a boy, and examines the various historical forms of fascism, always with an eye toward such ugly manifestations today. And finally, in an intensely personal open letter to an Italian Cardinal, Eco reflects on a question underlying all the reflections in the book - what does it mean to be moral or ethical when one doesn't believe in God? As thoughtful and subtle as they are pragmatic and relevant, these essays present one of the world's most important thinkers at the height of his critical powers.

PRAISE FOR UMBERTO ECO

"Instead of that tone of constipated envy we associate with criticism,
Eco's essays read like letters from a friend, trying to share something he loves
with someone he likes."--San Francisco Review of Books

"One of the most influential thinkers of our time."--Los Angeles Times
