From the 28-29 of May, 2010, the University Institute Sophia is organizing an INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR:

The Charismatic Principle in Economic and Civil Life: History, Theory and Good Practice

January 30 is the last day to send in paper proposals!

In May of 2010, the University Institute Sophia of Loppiano (Florence, Italy) will promote an international seminar titled: "The Charismatic Principle in Economic and Civil Life: History, Theory and Good Practice".

Among the objectives of the meeting is that of finding new paths in the dialogue between the institutional and charismatic dimension applied to the economic and social contexts. The basic consideration is that in the history of economy, of society and of religion, the charismatic dimension is often left in the shadows. To understand social and economic life inside and out, what is proposed is to analyze it not only in its institutional profile, but to also put into evidence the charismatic dynamics.
