2. In the framework of didactic activities, the role of the philosopher, the man of culture and science in contemporary times will be addressed. Rethinking the role of culture and philosophy in the time of great challenges; the crisis of sociality and politics, climate change, global balances, inequality and threats from conflicts, after the health crisis we have just experienced.

Truth and research. This year's theme will develop the central issue of how to re-address the relationship between philosophy, culture and science in the face of contemporary world. From a perspective reading of the future of a philosophy and science that can re-appropriate their interpretative role in the world; that can lead to research in favour of a humanity experiencing unexpected crises. From these reflections we can also find elements for rethinking education. - Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile
