18-19 January 2018
The seminar will offer a historical cross-disciplinary analysis of the concept of money, from ancient civilizations to the contemporary era, through investigations into the history of economics, political institutions, the three monotheistic religions and – more generally – of philosophy. Special attention will be paid to the intertwining of the political and the theological in these areas. The collaboration of scholars from different disciplines will shed light on an institution that plays a key role in human societies, and on the diverse exchanges that give them life, and will lead to critical readings of the contemporary transformations that the institution of money is undergoing.
