Sunday, December 10 at the Enrico Bucci Theater The meeting promoted by the “Enrico Pucci” Cultural Club will be held with the philosopher Luciano Dottarelli, who will speak about the topic. “Philosophy as a science of life” to understand changes in history and politics, He conveyed among other things what he had researched and written about the figure of Musonio, the Roman philosopher born in Volcini and who lived in first-century Rome during the empire of Nero.
Regarding the character of Musonio, who is known for his uprightness and austerity in thought, the author Luciano Dottarelli wrote the book “Musonio of the Etruscans,” which was published by Agnoli Editore.
He is known as an Etruscan because he was born and raised in Volcinj, Gaius Musonius Rufus He enjoyed great fame and moral standing among his contemporaries and in late antiquity. For the uprightness of his life’s conduct and the courage with which he faced Nero’s persecution and exile, he was identified as the “Roman Socrates” and considered a “model of the ideal life.”
Today, two thousand years later, some features of his thought (such as the conception of women, or considerations of vegetarian nutrition) still seem very vital and not at all outdated. Luciano Dottarelli demonstrates this by retracing the philosopher’s life through a detailed historical, documentary and bibliographical investigation, which highlights one of the most original and interesting thinkers of antiquity.
In an era of crises, any historical transitional moment calls into question all models and categories who have supported us in living and planning, it may be particularly interesting to reflect on some passages in the history of philosophy.
