Cesare Pavese. Un «amico speciale» e la società digitale iperconnessa
by Antonio Catalfamo
The twenty-first volume, proposed here, maintaining the international and collective character of the critical contributions, symbolically assumes Pavese as a ‘special friend’ (the definition is by the well-known sociologist Franco Ferrarotti) who guides, with his work, scholars and readers in the ‘hyperconnected digital society’, with its particular configuration, but also with the elements of continuity with the past, to face together the ‘big questions’ of human existence. Without rhetoric, without the pretension of educating or, worse still, indoctrinating, ‘humanism’ is not considered as a comfortable ‘armchair’ (to use a happy expression of Cesare Pavese himself), on which to sit and enjoy consolidated results, but it is seen as a continuous search for the ultimate meaning of life.
