Ventotene manifesto: why European politicians are arguing over a 1941 document written by a group of imprisoned Italian antifascists As European nations discuss closer defence collaboration, a document proposing a federal Europe has become the subject of heated arguments.

Giorgia Meloni dismissed the Ventotene Manifesto as a socialist relic. The left rushed to defend it but both sides risk distorting its meaning. I wrote for The Conversation about the political struggle over one of Europe’s most contested historical texts theconversation.com/ventotene-ma...

"The decisive fact of our time is that, on the whole, we know a lot and yet we can do very little. We are both enlightened and illiterate." – Marina GarcΓ©s

How can we know the world in ways that are empowering rather than overwhelming? Where is the future of radical knowledge production?
