I wanted to offer a critical perspective on these transformations without falling into clichés or oversimplifications. Moreover, the concept of "zombies"—as a metaphor for ideas that resurface in new forms—seemed perfect to describe the persistence of certain ideological patterns in our time. For me, the book is an invitation to debate and reflect on what truly drives change in our society.(less)

The Risk of Getting Too Big for Your Britches

In July 1834, during his journey through the Northeast, Davy Crockett delivered a lengthy speech to the citizens of Cincinnati, openly reproaching President Jackson “for getting too big for his britches”1 and behaving like a capricious monarch who refused to accept any limits to his will.

Their relationship had greatly deteriorated, despite Crockett having supported Jackson’s first presidential cam Read more of this blog post »

“if knowledge is a journey across an unknown ocean, even the bravest explorer cannot do without maps and a compass to avoid retracing the same routes endlessly.”
Davide Smith Borrelli, Zombies of Marx: The Return of Practical Reason

“The era we live in has provided humanity with extraordinary tools, forcing us to view the world differently than we did not so long ago. It presents us with new challenges and demands that we confront new problems. Retreating into the past, evoking the idea of eternal conflict, will not eliminate the challenges that lie ahead.”
Davide Smith Borrelli, Zombies of Marx: The Return of Practical Reason

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
Marcus Aurelius

“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
Mark Twain

“You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“The era we live in has provided humanity with extraordinary tools, forcing us to view the world differently than we did not so long ago.
