LIBRI DI MARIA GARRO

Il volume traccia una linea di lettura di fenomeni e problemi socialmente rilevanti, considerati nel loro rapporto con il soggettivo, ma visti anche in stretta relazione con la dimensione storica e sociale. La consapevolezza che nessuna disciplina, per quanto evoluta, può vantare un sapere prevalente ed esaustivo, né imporre le proprie teorie e metodi come unici ed esclusivi, ripropone le attese del grande umanesimo moderno, insieme agli insegnamenti della migliore filosofia mitteleuropea.
