9-10 June 2011

This seminar dealt with the biblical episode of Naaman the Syrian (2Kings 5, 18-19), moving from the reading given to it by Thomas Hobbes, who referred to the passage in order to introduce a distinction between private belief and public cult, and to allow for religious dissimulation.

Speakers: Gian Luigi Prato, Luigi Pizzolato, Michele Nicoletti, Lorenzo Perrone, Massimo Campanini, Francesca Forte, Dimitri D’Andrea, Francesco Ghia, Massimo Giuliani, Umberto Lodovici, Ionut Untea, Federico Bonzi, Raffaele Russo, Stefania Salvadori, Enrica Fabbri, Davide Zordan, Paolo Marangon, Milena Mariani, Alessandra Puledda, Claudia Milani, Alberto Anelli, Ana Petrache
