The speech of the new king of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, about the need to replace the"classical Welfare State of the second half of the 20th century with a participation society" has opened a central discussion on our future. Its basic idea is simple: the Welfare State, a kind of enlightened despot which tried to solve the vital problems of the people "from above", by giving them solutions decided and managed by the bureaucratic-state apparatus has become a problem, from being the driving force of a sort of progress it has become a barrier to it.

Europe is in the throes of two simultaneous crises: on the one hand, it is suffering from a political crisis, a crisis of leadership, one that has led to constitutional failure; on the other, it is suffering from a loss of identity, a phenomenon that results in cultural relativism. Marcello Pera, Speaker of the Italian Senate and Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Pisa, delivered a conference entitled “Strength of Identity” during the course of the FAES Campus 2005, a paper which the FAES Foundation is now publishing. Also known as the co-author of the book Senza Radici (“Without Roots”) alongside Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), Professor Pera urges European culture to proudly recall and reaffirm its origins and its universal democratic principles: freedom, equality and tolerance. In this respect, Europe must recognise the intrinsic value of a civilisation, Western civilisation, that has given the world so many universal ideas. “Europe must be aware of the moral superiority of a series of values that have prevailed over centuries and that have produced beneficial results wherever they have become established”.
