The first guest is Simone Ghelli, post-doc researcher in political philosophy at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, with a conference entitled Social animals, then aggressive. The “naturalistic moralism” of Primo Levi. It will be an opportunity to discuss his book La vita è ingiusta. Il doloroso darwinismo di Primo Levi, released this year by the Italian Institute of Philosophical Studies Press in Naples.
