May Joy Never Be Absent from You
With Vito Mancuso, philosopher and author
With his clear and profound style, Vito Mancuso offers a reflective journey into the true meaning of joy and how to reclaim it in a world dominated by anxiety, hyper-competition, and narcissism.
Starting from the ancient concept of philautia—excessive self-love—the author guides us through a path of inner liberation rooted in awareness, silence, and the art of sound thinking. It is an invitation to free ourselves from the traps of the ego and to rediscover a sense of fullness and harmony, both within and around us.
This meeting becomes an occasion to renew our joyful praise for Creation, 800 years after the composition of Francis’ Canticle. In a disoriented society struggling to reconnect with nature, and where wars rage like uncontrolled fires, Vito Mancuso’s philosophy of joy opens a passage of possibility.
