We are born into language and thought because on the horizon of infant observation, the mother is both a joy of presence and a pain of absence - because the desire for nourishment is a longing for connection.
Humans are rational because they are loving beings; the distinguishing feature of humanity is life as a relationship, not as self-centered survival.
The book "stands" on this empirical proposition to seek criteria for critical confrontation with the contemporary reality of the contradictions of our culture, the decline of the social event, and the radical alienation of the political system.
It identifies critical confrontation in specific contemporary issues of international relations, domestic political weakness, the deadlocks of education, and the consequences of "progressive" nihilism.
The critique has a goal and a vision: to preserve in some consciences measures and boundaries of authenticity: of social relationships, of the sport of politics, of artistic explorations, of the joy of love.
