Polidoro Massimo; Vannini Marco
Indagine sulla vita eterna
br. Che cosa succede dopo la morte? Una semplice domanda, ma quante discussioni ha suscitato da quando l'uomo è comparso sulla Terra! Questa indagine, resa in forma di dialogo tra due studiosi di formazione, competenze e punti di vista assai diversi - scientifico Massimo Polidoro e filosofico Marco Vannini -, nasce dal desiderio di capire se esistano elementi sufficienti a sostegno della credenza in un possibile aldilà. Il risultato è una delle inchieste più complete sul tema della vita eterna, in cui scienza, religione, antropologia, storia e filosofia si intrecciano per cercare di illuminare il più pressante e intimo interrogativo dell'uomo.
