Overview
In recent years, European societies have become increasingly pluralistic and religiously diverse. In particular, the influx of migrants coming from the nearby regions from North Africa, Middle East and the Balkans has determined an unprecedented variety of cultures and religions in Italy and in Europe.This situation has been challenging our view of citizenship, public space and common goods. Besides the risk of cultural and social conflicts, the current situation represents a unique occasion to reflect on crucial features of social life as well as to engage a transformative public debate with old and new neighbours. The course explores perspectives that philosophers and political theorists have been articulating to understand the dynamics of these changes and the new role of citizenship in an age of unprecedented religious and cultural diversity.
