«L'epoca delle passioni tristi» is the essay by Miguel Benasayag and Gérard Schmit, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (129 pages, in Italian).
Two psychiatrists analyse the sadness and malaise running through today's society, especially among young people, and link them to the crisis of Western culture, where faith in progress has given way to uncertainty. They propose recovering the joy of disinterested doing and cultivating one's own talents without utilitarian ends.
The work was published in 2004 in the Campi del sapere collection and addresses themes of philosophy, social psychology and adolescence.
For educators, psychologists and professionals working with adolescents, as well as for readers interested in philosophy and social psychology.
Miguel Benasayag is an Argentine philosopher, psychoanalyst, epistemology researcher and former Guévariste resistance fighter. He is close to the left-libertarian movement.
