For centuries, millions of believers undertook arduous journeys to sacred destinations, seeking spiritual merit, miraculous healing, penance, or divine encounter. Pilgrimage networks connected distant regions, creating routes where religious devotion intersected with commercial exchange, cultural transmission, and political power. This history examines how pilgrimage shaped religious practice, urban development, and cross-cultural interaction from late antiquity through early modernity.Drawing on pilgrims accounts, monastic records, archaeological evidence, and architectural studies, the narrative explores major pilgrimage traditions across faiths. Christian pilgrims traveled to Jerusalems Holy Sepulchre, Romes apostolic sites, and Santiago de Compostelas relics of Saint James. Muslims performed hajj to Mecca, fulfilling Islams fifth pillar while creating annual gatherings of unprecedented diversity. Hindus journeyed to Varanasi, Buddhists visited Bodh Gaya, and Shinto practitioners climbed sacred mountains in Japan.The book examines pilgrimage infrastructure and practice. Hospices, monasteries, and caravanserais provided shelter along routes. Guidebooks described distances, lodging, and notable sites. Badges and tokens authenticated journeys. Pilgrimage economies supported innkeepers, merchants, relic sellers, and local communities. Urban centers like Canterbury, Lourdes, and Karbala developed around pilgrimage traffic, constructing elaborate shrines and managing crowds.Beyond individual devotion, pilgrimage served multiple functions. Rulers encouraged pilgrimage to legitimize authority and demonstrate piety. Healers treated pilgrims at shrine complexes. Marginal groupswomen, elderly, disabledgained temporary autonomy during journeys. Routes facilitated artistic exchange, architectural innovation, and transmission of medical knowledge. Pilgrimage created shared religious identity while exposing travelers to diverse practices and beliefs.

Religious belief has shaped human civilization for millennia, providing moral frameworks, social cohesion, and explanations for existence while generating conflict, reform movements, and philosophical inquiry. This history examines how major faith traditions emerged, evolved, and interacted across cultures, revealing religion as dynamic force continually reinterpreted by believers confronting changing circumstances.Drawing on sacred texts, theological treatises, archaeological evidence, and historical records, the narrative traces religious development through distinct phases. Ancient polytheistic systems personified natural forces and legitimized political authority. Axial Age transformations produced ethical monotheism in Judaism, philosophical systems in Greece and China, and Buddhisms emphasis on liberation from suffering. Christianity emerged from Jewish tradition, spreading through Roman networks and adapting to diverse cultures. Islams rapid expansion created civilization spanning three continents, preserving classical knowledge while generating new intellectual traditions.The book explores key dynamics shaping religious history. Prophetic movements challenged established hierarchies. Mystical traditions sought direct divine experience beyond institutional mediation. Schisms divided communities over doctrine, authority, and practiceCatholic-Orthodox split, Protestant Reformation, Sunni-Shia division. Religious institutions wielded political power while reformers demanded purification. Missionary activity spread faiths across cultural boundaries, creating syncretic practices blending indigenous and imported beliefs.

What, if anything, distinguishes Homo sapiens? Philosophy has offered many answers, including consciousness, language, and rational or symbolic thought. Recently, however, increasing attention has turned to the uniquely human relationship with technology, especially in light of the profound transformations brought about by the Web and artificial intelligence. While humans are not the only beings capable of using tools, in humans technical abilities reach an unparalleled level of sophistication, speed of development, and cumulative complexity.As Maurizio Ferraris argues in Dochumanity, the most decisive revolutions in history are technological ones, reflecting the fact that human beings are fundamentally defined by their relationship with technology. From this perspective, technology is not merely an external aid but a constitutive feature of humanity. On this basis, this issue of Rivista di Estetica explores the deep connections between humans and technology, as well as the evolving relationship between natural and artificial intelligence.

Este é um livro para quem acorda cansado, para quem se sente perdido no meio do próprio ritmo, e para quem, apesar disso, ainda deseja viver de um modo mais inteiro. Em Cansado de ficar cansado, Davi Lago e Alana Anijar propem uma travessia lucida por um dos males mais discretos e, ao mesmo tempo, mais universais do nosso tempo: o cansaço cronico.Entrelaçando psicologia, espiritualidade e experiencias reais, os autores percorrem as trilhas do esgotamento contemporaneo com um olhar atento e sensivel. Alana, a partir de anos de escuta clinica, revela como pessoas comuns carregam fadigas profundas que no se resolvem com uma noite de sono. Davi, vindo do cuidado pastoral e da pesquisa academica, ilumina o impacto emocional e existencial das dores que no cabem nos diagnosticos. Juntos, eles constroem um texto que nasce do encontro, das conversas francas, dos relatos reais, e cada capitulo aponta caminhos para uma vida mais leve, madura e consciente uma vida que no ignora a correria, mas aprende a respirar dentro dela.
