Em que Crê Quem Não Crê

Rate this book
Este pequeno mas precioso livro reúne a correspondência trocada entre Umberto Eco e o cardeal Carlo Maria Martini através das páginas do jornal italiano Liberal, entre Março de 1995 e Março de 1996. Nas oito cartas desse debate público, um intelectual brilhante e importante membro da Igreja e um representante da cultura laica uma figura singular da cultura e do pensamento contemporâneos discutem, com tolerância exemplar e liberdade dialética, os valores fundamentais do homem contemporâneo, a perspectiva dos apocalipses, as tradições religiosas e o senso comum, além das restrições impostas às mulheres. Debatem, enfim, a fé. Ao acalorado diálogo entre Eco e Martini somam-se as vozes de muitos dos leitores que irão ler este livro, num vivo, acalorado, mas exemplarmente harmónico.

Um livrinho que não perdeu réstia de actualidade.

About the author

Umberto Eco

953 books12k followers
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on similar themes.

Eco wrote prolifically throughout his life, with his output including children's books, translations from French and English, in addition to a twice-monthly newspaper column "La Bustina di Minerva" (Minerva's Matchbook) in the magazine L'Espresso beginning in 1985, with his last column (a critical appraisal of the Romantic paintings of Francesco Hayez) appearing 27 January 2016. At the time of his death, he was an Emeritus professor at the University of Bologna, where he taught for much of his life. In the 21st century, he has continued to gain recognition for his 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism", where Eco lists fourteen general properties he believes comprise fascist ideologies.

Um diálogo excecional entre duas visões distintas da ética e do comportamento humano. Umberto Eco arrasa a problemática com uma epístola final simplesmente deliciosa. Um livro muito interessante que levanta muitos aspetos sobre os quais vale a pena refletir. Um livro para ler e reler.
