Rate this book
The Duties of Man is a book written by Giuseppe Mazzini, an Italian political philosopher, journalist, and revolutionary. The book is a collection of essays that outline Mazzini's ideas on the role of individuals in society and their responsibilities towards their fellow human beings. Mazzini believed that individuals have a duty to work towards the betterment of society, and that this duty is rooted in the fundamental principles of human nature. He argued that individuals should strive to create a society that is based on justice, equality, and freedom, and that this can only be achieved through collective action.The book is divided into three sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Mazzini's philosophy. The first section focuses on the individual and their relationship to society, while the second section discusses the role of the state in promoting the common good. The third section examines the relationship between different nations and the importance of international cooperation.Throughout the book, Mazzini emphasizes the importance of moral principles and the need for individuals to act with integrity and compassion. He also stresses the importance of education and the need to cultivate a sense of civic responsibility in young people.Overall, The Duties of Man is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to consider their own role in society and the responsibilities that come with it. It is a timeless work that continues to be relevant today, and is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Quante concezioni esistono dei doveri..

Due autori diversi (Mazzini e Pellico) per appartenenza generazionale e formazione culturale hanno di fatto pubblicato nello stesso anno un libro sui doveri degli uomini ossia visto che siamo in pieno Risorgimento doveri dell'uomo come persona (quindi doveri familiari, morali, etc.) e come cittadino (doveri verso la patria)... due libri molto diversi... sarebbe interessante capire non solo perché sono così distanti in quanto questo si può spiegare con le differenti esperienze esistenziali dei due autori, ma quale dei due abbia avuto più presa sui giovani italiani dell'epoca...

Il libro e il manifesto di un visionario e di un padre progressista della nazione, a mio parere è decisamente all'altezza delle aspettative. Magnifica la sua idea di Fratellanza e di Cooperazione, anche se può risultare non sempre condivisibile agli occhi di un uomo moderno.

Un saggio politico e sociale che offre una prospettiva ribaltata su quale ruolo l'uomo abbia nella società in merito alla pretesa (sacrosanta) dei diritti e, soprattutto, alla ineludibile pragmatica dei doveri funzionale al progresso del mondo.

le parole di mazzini possono essere controverse e viste come irrealistiche, ma credo che questo libro sia un pezzo di storia importante per farci capire quanto le idee possano avere un impatto importante nella storia, anche se l’azione non porta sempre ai risultati desiderati.

Ahora sí lo he terminado.
Muy bonito lo que Mazzini propone pero muy difícil conseguir. En días próximos ampliaré mi comentario.
