La fondazione del legame politico tra bisogno, innovazione e creatività. Un percorso rapsodico nella storia delle idee dall'antichità al Medioevo

Since ancient times, need and lack have been suggested as the primary driving forces of change and, by extension, of social and political organization itself. But if necessity is undoubtedly a powerful lever, it is certainly not the only, nor the main one, to shape political innovation. Rather, along the history of ideas this latter has been rooted in a richer network of ideal, relational and existential drives, even towards transcendence. This study attempts to explore, from Classical Antiquity to the Middle Ages, the intellectual dynamics of change whose target was creating political communities oriented towards the common good.
