Culture, philosophy, politics and education between Classic and Contemporary.

In the third part, the relationship between Bildung, Europe and the West will be the subject of thematic and critical discussion, with particular reference to the intertwining of culture, philosophy, politics and education in the thought of Hegel, Simmel, Adorno, Gadamer and Habermas.
