The beauty of the dialogue space

The "walk" is reported by Claude Monet
Silvio Proto
in the text "The charm of every day"
witness the thrill of life that runs through the work of

Don Giussani and the life of every man who takes seriously the daily life

"That nature that plugs desire great things is the heart." It 'was the title / theme of the Meeting of Rimini last year. After the event, as always happens, the network of friendship and companionship, which determines the event itself, have continued to stretch, simply, from person to person, no projects, no strategies. So, you really do not communicate as a doctrine, but as is humanly fascinating experience, meeting the needs incoercible beauty and happiness, fulfilling life, making, that is, more beautiful, more interesting. From Rimini to Cairo in October, the Meeting arrived in Egypt for the spread of human passion with some Egyptian friends. "The beauty, the space for dialogue" was the theme of history that has compared eminent personalities from the cultural world: Wael Farouk, a Muslim professor at the American University in Cairo, Ismail al-Din tightening, Director of the Library of Alexandria; Kosam Kamil, Rector of the University of Cairo, Vice President of the Supreme Constitutional Court. The secret of a common pathway: a look of truth, an attraction, a meeting. Years ago, the "religious sense", the fundamental text of Don Giussani, had found the interest and attention of Arab intellectuals, especially regarding the concept of reason. Thus, in absolute simplicity, un'interlocuzione began by initiating a fruitful dialogue, almost writing - in the history of human thought - a new page of the comparison between the genius of the thought of S. Thomas and the writers Arabs, first Averroes, translators and interpreters of Aristotle's thought. If, then, the urgency was to defend, at a philosophical level, the "singularity" of the human person against the reduction of reason to single intellect, today, in the dramatic bend of our time, the primary task is to defend the possibility of a peaceful human coexistence, finding the light of reason, the "fundamentals" of the person and society. In the current context of migration multicultural charisma Giussani (human and intellectual path) is one of the most fascinating and powerful mode of dialogue with constituent needs (desire) the heart of every man. Certainly, in absolute terms, the speech on faith and reason more sympathetically with the relevant original reason of the human experience as such: path examined critically, methodically easing, humanly attractive, ie the contribution more eloquently persuasive, in terms of experience, the rationality of faith. For the freedom and happiness! We are certain that along this border is possible to find peaceful men, peoples and cultures. Thus, even before the "massacre" of Christians in Alexandria, documentation of the most tragic history of persecution, we are invincible in hope, builders of the future from a certainty of life in this new "reality sui generis" of a people, even in the shadows of history. This new life renews and strengthens the institutions of society.
