OverviewTwo intellectuals discuss the role and responsibility of the writer in contemporary society. In balance between the risks of rhetorical-populist drifts and the desire to affect reality, the word, vehicle of knowledge and information, today seems to have lost its critical potential, its fundamental function as a stimulus. In the last two decades, journalistic information and television have reduced it to a mere rhetorical tool, aimed at creating consensus or offering easy-to-grasp slogans. Can the writer still contribute to the growth of a widespread and mature democratic consciousness? Or are we condemned to suffer this emptying of meaning? Pascale and Rastello tackle the difficult relationship between intellectuals and society, starting from a basic assumption: the most urgent commitment today is to remove the word from rhetoric and spectacle, so that it regains its own nature as a cognitive tool.
