" Italy, Vatican State " , preface by Ferruccio Pinotti , addresses the dispute over the moral issue that sees the bearers of absolute truth, reason of state subservient to the Vatican . The book denounces the ambiguity of the ancient Church of Rome, which promotes a moral AC strongly committed to manage the keys of power, while those promises of paradise. Is the growing interference of the Vatican in the public sphere and the intention to impose its imprimatur to the institutions of all levels, to the point that even the EU's refusal indicating in the European Constitution "Christian roots", repeatedly claimed by the two popes Karol Wojtyla and Joseph Ratzinger , would be the sign of the loss of the continent's identity. Investigating these pressures, the author explains how over the centuries in the West claim the modern concept of the secular and democratic state has coincided with the apparent opposition of the Catholic hierarchy and incessant. From popular sovereignty to the separation of powers, the rule of law to the principle of tolerance to the freedom of science in the modern Europe has marginalized the theocratic claims of the Church of Rome. In analyzing more da vicino il caso italiano e i rapporti tra Stato e Vaticano, con il brillante espediente narrativo di riscrivere alcuni articoli della Costituzione del 1948 seguendone dogmi e i precetti cattolici, Martelli dimostra come l’assenza di laicità e il trionfo delle strategie clericali e confessionali trasformerebbero la democrazia italiana nella più fondamentalista delle autocrazie.
Gli studi di Michele Martelli nel passato si sono concentrati sul pensiero di Friedrich Nietzsche , Antonio Gramsci , e di numerosi autori del Novecento, affrontando alcune tra le più dibattute vicende e philosophical and political issues of the last century. In recent years he has worked on issues of great relevance by developing the idea of \u200b\u200ba philosophy aimed at a radical critique of dogmatism and religious fundamentalism in general and any form of absolutism that threatens the freedom of thought, civil rights, the democratic institutions and peace among peoples. The current work of an essayist is particularly addressed to the defense of secularism, political interventionism against the ecclesiastical hierarchy and the Vatican.
