Politics and Vision (from the title of a famous book by Sheldon Wolin) are a controversial and indissoluble duo in the Western tradition. Vision can take place from above or below, for propaganda or representation, love or fear, and each of these alternatives affects modes of life and thought. This essay attempts to highlight their intertwined relationship at a crucial time: the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity or, in other words, the Humanistic Age.

Abstract
Politics and Vision (from the title of a famous book by Sheldon Wolin) are a controversial and indissoluble duo in the Western tradition. Vision can take place from above or below, for propaganda or representation, love or fear, and each of these alternatives affects modes of life and thought. This essay attempts to highlight their intertwined relationship at a crucial time: the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity or, in other words, the Humanistic Age.File in questo prodotto:
