«La utilidad de lo inútil. Manifiesto» is the philosophical manifesto by Nuccio Ordine, published by Acantilado in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
In this manifesto, Nuccio Ordine defends the intrinsic value of the humanities and of knowledge that seeks no immediate benefit. He brings together voices of philosophers and writers to champion education, reading and critical thought; a society that scorns the gratuitous and pursues only profit loses its memory and its meaning.
It belongs to the Acantilado Bolsillo collection (no. 36), with a translation from the Italian by Jordi Bayod and includes an essay by Abraham Flexner.
A work for readers interested in philosophy, the essay and the role of the humanities in education.
Nuccio Ordine was an Italian literary critic who was professor of Italian literature at the University of Calabria. He was one of the world's top experts on the Renaissance and the philosopher Giordano Bruno.
