Felicità, scontentezza e resilienza: antichi e moderni a confronto

Abstract

This paper aims to stimulate a reflection on some keywords of ancient and modern political-philosophical thought: a) the concept of happiness as crossroads between individual interest and common wealth; b) the feeling of angst and dissatisfaction that strikes individuals and communities in transitional phases; c) the ‘resilience’ as ability to adapt in gap management, in order to face the current challenges of the great global crisis.
