Макс Штирнер (1806–1856) – немецкий философ, долгое время был последователем Георга Гегеля и его учеников – младогегельянцев. Считается основателем философии индивидуалистического анархизма и предшественником экзистенциализма и постмодернизма. Многие его идеи позже заимствовал Фридрих Ницше. Основной труд Макса Штирнера Единственный и его собственность представляет собой радикальную критику христианства, национализма и морали, с одной стороны, а с другой – гуманизма, либерализма и социализма.

La morale esiste da molto prima che si parlasse di Dio, di religione o filosofia. La sua storia è, anzitutto, il frutto di un processo di selezione naturale. Questo libro risale allora fino agli albori dell’umanità: nelle foreste dell’Africa orientale che, 5 milioni di anni fa, diradano per effetto dei cambiamenti climatici. Tra gli ominidi che scendono dagli alberi ci sono anche i nostri antenati, che si adattano agli spazi aperti organizzandosi in gruppi estesi.

Questo dialogo, noto anche col nome di Simposio, è il più noto fra i dialoghi di Platone. La sua struttura non è in realtà quella di un dialogo ma una successione di orazioni effettuate dagli intellettuali ateniesi, che hanno per oggetto le lodi del dio dell'Amore (Eros). Troviamo qui, fra l'altro, la famosa descrizione dell'uomo ermafrodito, che, tagliato in due dagli dei, cercherà poi nella sua vita, la sua metà mancante, grazie alla quale, e solo grazie ad essa, ritroverà il suo senso di completezza e, quindi, la felicità.

Quel point commun y a-t-il entre spiritualité, médias et politique ? L'attention. Médias, industriels et politiques se l'arrachent, c'est le célèbre " temps de cerveaux disponible ".
