BIO
Vito Mancuso is a theologian who has lectured on modern and contemporary Theology at the Faculty of Philosophy of San Raffaele University in Milan from 2004 to 2011, then on History of Theological Doctrines at Padua University. His writings have been greatly appreciated by a large audience, especially L’anima e il suo destino [The Soul and its Destiny], Io e Dio. Una guida dei perplessi [I and God. A Guide for the Perplexed], Il principio passione. La forza che ci spinge ad amare [The Passion Principle. The Strength that Pushes Us to Love], three bestsellers which have sold over one hundred thousand copies with translations in other languages and outstanding reviews in the press, on the radio and television. His theories are the subject of debate and discussions because they are not always in line with those of ecclesiastical hierarchies, as regards both ethics and dogma strictly speaking. Since 2009 he has been an editorialist for the newspaper “La Repubblica”. His last book: La via della bellezza (Garzanti).
