Pavel Ivanovič Čičikov attraversa la Russia comprando i nomi dei contadini morti dopo l'ultimo censimento, le anime morte appunto, per ottenere l'assegnazione di terre concesse solo a chi poteva dimostrare di possedere un certo numero di servi della gleba. Gogol' ci regala una galleria di personaggi corrotti e immorali, appartenenti a tutte le classi sociali, le cui anime sono più morte di quelle dei morti. Una commedia grottesco-satirica che descrive una società di proprietari terrieri, contadini e funzionari, immersa in una melma di mediocrità e pochezza umana.

In Money and Promises, the distinguished financier, entrepreneur and historian Paolo Zannoni examines the fascinating, complex relationship between states and banks.

The Gospel of Judas was composed between approximately 130 and 170 CE; its dating is based on the maturity of its theology, its assumption of knowledge of the ...

God and the Self in Hegel proposes a reconstruction of Hegel’s conception of God and analyzes the significance of this reading for Hegel’s idealistic metaphysics. Paolo Diego Bubbio argues that in Hegel’s view, subjectivism—the tenet that there is no underlying “true” reality that exists independently of the activity of the cognitive agent—can be avoided, and content can be restored to religion, only to the extent that God is understood in God’s relation to human beings, and human beings are understood in their relation to God.

Prendendo coraggiosamente posizione contro un antifascismo di maniera ormai fuori tempo massimo, Pasolini mette in guardia da una nuova forma di fascismo, più subdola e insidiosa, intesa "come normalità, come codificazione del fondo brutalmente egoista di una società".
