Consciousness and Power A Contemporary Anthropological Reflection Starting from Biblical Stories-M. Ciccarelli

In Consciousness and Power, Michele Ciccarelli offers a profound anthropological reflection grounded in biblical narratives, analyzing the tensions between universal human rights and diverse cultural traditions in a world marked by conflict and ideological rifts. Pasquale Giustiniani emphasizes how the book invites a renewed reflection on the interplay between ethics, religion, and politics. Ciccarelli warns of authoritarian drifts hidden behind democratic facades, denounces power disconnected from responsibility, and reads biblical figures (from Cain to Adam) as cautionary tales against a freedom without conscience. The urgent call is for a renewed humanity, capable of listening, long-term vision, and harmony—especially in a time when even music seems tuned to the frequency of war.
