Sol

There are as many suns as there are societies, even as individuals; each one projects his passions, doubts, anxieties and dreams onto him. For some, the sun is a fragile and ephemeral deity; for others, it is the light that should guide us along the path of reason.Its warm light was never a sufficient condition to guarantee the prosperity of men who quickly understood the need to master it technically in order to optimize the effects of climate on agriculture, medicine, architecture, politics or even thought. Emma Carenini, professor of Philosophy, explains to us how the sun has never been something trivial in civilizations and how its conquest has been persecuted for centuries by man.
