Dionysis Magliveras Essays at the Forefront 212pp. Oi Ekdoseis ton Filon, 2007 ISBN: 960-289-088-6 ISBN13: 978-960-289-088-2

Dionysis Magliveras addresses issues of relevance to people in Greece and the wider world. He examines interpersonal relationships and the universe of feelings, the significance of education, and the problems facing Greek society in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Other topics include globalisation and national identity, Christian discourse, the sites of collective encounters and the dangers of quietism and the dead-end represented by a recourse to lawlessness. Examining the rationalisation and unleashing of human passions, the masks that people wear in social contacts the value of moral struggles and the power of irony and humor, the author constructs a sociology of everyday existence. He backs up his observations with moral philosophy and a secularised theology that is open to modern messages.
His subtle, accurate reflections of humanistic bent touch on some of the most sensitive issues of our time, in reflections that combine critical acuity with analytical moderation.
