![]() The idea d'Europa is an essay by George Steiner (a prestigious humanist and French scholar) who talks about the contemporary European men. European men, women and children who carry a heavy backpack. The weight of a brutal past, but also grand. Here we are. Fine, and now, what? What is Europe? Man, says Steiner, has a great capacity to do evil but also has a great capacity to devote himself to useless topics: music, mathematics, poetry, beauty ... maybe goodness. The search for these abilities is the only answer to the uncertainty of our continent to face world globalization. The Idea of Europe is a topical proposal, today more than ever.
