Festival Filosofi Lungo l’Oglio – Stefano Zamagni
Thursday 25 June 2026 - h. 21:00
On the occasion of the 21st edition of the Festival Filosofi Lungo l’Oglio, on Thursday, June 25th, at 9:00 pm, at the Castello dei Conti Calepio in Castelli Calepio, Stefano Zamagni will deliver a keynote lecture, “Listening as Recognition (thymos), a Condition for Integral Human Development”.
Plato tells us that recognition (thimos) is the primary human need—not nourishment. This is because humans are essentially connected to one another. To exist, it’s enough to be generated, but to exist (and live well), it’s necessary to feel wanted. Listening is the way recognition is achieved. But be careful not to get confused. Communication also involves listening, but this is only of a sensorial nature. In intersubjective relationships, however, listening becomes dialogue, not mere conversation. The question arises: what structural factors make listening as mutual recognition so difficult today? What can be done to counteract them?
Former President of the Third Sector Agency, Stefano Zamagni is one of the leading contemporary economists, recognized worldwide for his studies in the social economy.
