"Reflections" is the intellectual labor of the last five years. It deals with topics I discussed extensively with young people, who honored me by considering me their teacher, and I had the joy of having them as my students. Ideally, the title of the book should be: a dialogue with the youth. Thus, it is addressed to the youth, of any age.

The goals of this book are twofold: first and foremost, to enhance the theoretical tools of the contemporary youth, who are adrift in the confusion of ideas, and second, to defend the youth, who lately have been unfairly accused of being illiterate.
