The international VII Conference of "Prospettiva Persona" (10th-12th December 2008 Teramo), intends to celebrate the centennial of the birth of Simone Weil (1909-2009), as first demonstration in Italy for this great thinker of the Nine hundred. The Congress is born from the collaboration of the CRP with different institutions, cultural centres, universities and associations of local and international circle (Are present experts from: Brazil, USA, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, Italy).
It is addressed to experts of the different disciplinary fields (philosophical, ethical, pedagogic, scientific, theological), to educators, teachers of every order and degree and students (with possibility of recognition for the updating and for the university accreditation).
The thought of Simone Weil is an important reference in the disintegration of the post-modern epoch to consider the relationship with the truth in total intellectual honesty, free from cultural, ideological and religious fences. The expectation, the attention, the relationship, the search of the truth and the testimony are essential references for an anthropology based on shareable values.
The original thematic choice, insufficiently explored still in the thought of the Weil, it is the "relationship among person and impersonal", a nowadays problematic knot, being the Weil notoriously against the concept and the use of the term person and, at the same time, strongly careful to the themes of the care and the obligations in the respects of every creature. We want to realize a possible complete and deep investigation of the Weil's resources and to arouse new formulations of the sense of the way of living beginning from the analysis of the relationships, sometimes contradictory, between rights and obligations, intelligence and contemplation, rooting and eradication, political appointment and mysticism, love and justice, all aspects included in the person-impersonal dyad.
The conference foresees * 4 thematic sessions with relative specialistic contributions * moments of synthetic introduction of the character through DVD * A show from the title: Simone Weil. Abysses and peaks (Directed by Redi Maghenzani, music by G. Danese)
* The publication of the Papers (to book at the Personalist Searches Centre: www.prospettivapersona.it) by Publishing Rubbettino of Soveria Mannelli (CZ).
