This book offers a personal inquiry, not a political treatise, into the consequences of allowing labels to define both individuals and societies. It asks: What remains when these labels are stripped away? What is the danger in neglecting to examine our core identity beneath them? My exploration culminated in a singular insight: unexamined collective labels profoundly influence not only the self but entire communities.

Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral – die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet.

Una dodicenne partecipa a una sfida lanciata sui social, va a scuola con una borraccia piena di vodka e finisce in coma etilico.

Across continents and centuries, societies repeatedly killed in the name of belief, order, and necessity.

Más que un estudio, este libro es un autorretrato: la selfi íntima y aguda de una generación. Una generación, como nos señala Valentina Vapaux, que no se define tanto por hábitos o posturas particulares, sino por una serie de contradicciones esenciales. Las y los jóvenes de la generación Z encuentran conexión y sentido de pertenencia en internet y las redes sociales, pero, al mismo tiempo, el mundo virtual resulta una fuente inagotable de ansiedad y depresión.

La tesi di Murgia è che l'odio possa essere una virtù, dipende da come lo pratichiamo. Per esempio, con Odio gli indifferenti Antonio Gramsci ha mostrato che, se riconosciuto e disciplinato, questo sentimento non è per forza distruttivo. Passando dalle maledizioni sarde ai salmi biblici, da Grazia Deledda alle lettere di san Paolo, Murgia smonta i nostri pregiudizi e rivendica il diritto di odiare – specialmente i prevaricatori, i prepotenti, tutti coloro che non credono nella responsabilità collettiva del bene.
