In Les Lumières sombres, Arnaud Miranda traces the genealogy of “neoreaction” — the current born at the crossroads of libertarianism and Silicon Valley that, from Curtis Yarvin to Nick Land, has set its sights on the death of democracy. Reset interviewed Dr. Miranda about the durability of his categories, his relationship to neoliberalism, his positioning within the ideological architecture of Trumpism, and his reception in Europe.

To open the way for a fresh and reformist reading and understanding of the Qur’an, Massimo Campanini refers to the teachings of Edmund Husserl and Enzo Paci on God’s truth not being absolute but telos, an objective, a truth to be reached as as to Egyptian philosopher Hassan Hanafi’s concept that “God is not logos but praxis”” Gos is man’s action in society and in history.

University of Milano-Bicocca

This conference critically engages with Seyla Benhabib’s book “At the Margins of the Modern State. Critical Theory and Law,” interrogating tensions between universalism and exclusion in contemporary political and legal orders. Can democracy be normatively and institutionally reconstructed in an age of polycrisis, fractured sovereignty, and the transformation of the public sphere? Under what conditions is democracy still possible today? These are central questions that will be at the core of the two-day debate.

The conference and seminars will examine the decline of liberal democracies, exploring the discontent between the elite and the working and middle classes, the ineffectiveness of traditional grievance channels, and the rise of radical polarization and extremist views. It will also address growing inequalities and the challenge of finding new frameworks to resolve the evolving conflict between the many and the few, with a focus on how modern philosophy can play a key role in developing solutions.

Rome, Italy

This international conference will address the critical challenges facing liberal democracies. It will explore their failure to respond effectively to the anxieties and needs of citizens grappling with globalization, precarious employment, demographic changes, and social dislocation. These issues, amplified by populist rhetoric and the perceived indifference of liberal elites, have led to growing polarization, weakened societal cohesion, and ideological stagnation in politics.
