Genesis and Structure of Scientific Revolutions
After Il computer di Platone, continues the story of the syntactic paradigm, the human ability that allows us to “think without understanding”, manipulating signs and where the computer is the epiphany. The focus is now on the Middle Ages and the Scientific Revolution when modern science emerges and our civilization takes its essential characteristics.

Rules & fires
Metamorphosis of racism
Institutional racism nourishes people’s xenophobia and uses it to legitimize itself: a vicious circle typical of today’s Italy. The refusal of the migrants – if not as manpower –, the contempt of minorities and cultural difference draw the picture of a country on the brink of disaster.
