Podcast Produced by GOOGLE AI
The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain arguably the most controversial event in all of contemporary history, one on which it is still not easy today to foster a secular and rational debate, as the emotional and ideological nature of negative assessments regarding the decisions that made it possible continues to prevail. The author, starting from a pragmatic and non-dogmatic viewpoint, analyzes the context and circumstances in which those who made such decisions found themselves operating. In particular, he shows how the global race for military nuclear technology began well before the Manhattan Project and offers an account of the final acts of World War II, revealing episodes likely unknown to most readers, some of which have only recently been brought to light and in the face of which it is difficult to get by with abstract “moral pronouncements”. PAOLO AGNOLI comes from extensive managerial experience in national-level companies. An experimental physicist by training, he has always maintained an interest in the philosophical aspects of science as well, a passion that led him to earn a second degree in philosophy. He won first place in the 2025 International Nabokov Literary Prize for the “Published Non-Fiction” section with the Italian edition of this essay. He was also awarded the 2026 Franz Kafka Italia Imagination Prize “for his relevant and dense cultural and artistic activities, as well as various fields of the Imagination.”
