La forza dei deboli

Description

Giustizia e ingiustizia, liceità e illegalità, bene e male, sono spesso solo la forma esteriore del conflitto profondo tra forza e debolezza. Alla radice l’opposizione tra la forza e la debolezza che confondiamo con la guerra tra il bene e il male. di Alessandro Pucci Vivere significa agire, prendere decisioni, saper dare forza alle proprie scelte, avere il potere di scegliere. Forza e potere sembrano qualcosa di necessario e positivo. È davvero così? Spesso chi ha potere tende ad abusarne, e spesso le ragioni della forza superano agevolmente la forza della ragione. Non è complicato giudicare la forza e il potere come qualcosa di ambiguo e pericoloso. Questo testo indaga alla radice l’opposizione tra la forza e la debolezza che confondiamo con la guerra tra il bene e il male. Giustizia e ingiustizia, liceità e illegalità, bene e male, sono spesso solo la forma esteriore del conflitto profondo tra forza e debolezza. Parlare della forza dei deboli e della debolezza dei forti non significa giocare con le parole, ma mettere a nudo i lati oscuri del linguaggio e le contraddizioni dei valori che esso presuppone.
