/03.07.15/.- Flemming Rose, has said today that saving freedom of expression ‘in this diverse, digital and complex world’ requires ‘a global conversation’, as ‘freedom of expression is a common issue’. However, he regretted that ‘we are going in the opposite direction and we are having less and less debate and more fragmentation’.
/03.07.15/.- The director of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism at the University of Rome, Alessandro Orsini, has said today that ‘someone needs to start a body-to-body combat against the militants of Isis’, and that ‘so far, the West has fought using only the little finger’. Orsini participated in a discussion at the FAES Campus on strategies before the Islamic State, in which the director of the Master on Terrorism at Rey Juan Carlos University, Rogelio Alonso, said that ‘we must have an effect on political leadership, social mobilization and awareness’ and ‘learn to be militant societies’.

DESCATALOGADOPhilippe Nemo aborda sobre bases históricas la definición esquemática del concepto de Occidente y el estudio de sus orígenes. Cinco grandes creaciones históricas definen a Occidente: la polis griega (libertad, ciencia y escuela), el derecho romano, la Biblia, la "revolución papal" de los siglos XI y XIII (la síntesis de Atenas, Roma y Jerusalén) y, finalmente, la democracia liberal. Occidente abarca básicamente Europa y las antiguas colonias europeas, en especial Norteamérica. Es, pues, un concepto transatlántico. Por eso Philippe Nemo considera que los dos grandes proyectos hoy vigentes, la Unión Europea y los Estados Unidos, son dos “falsas buenas ideas”. Propone una Unión Occidental que lleve al terreno de las instituciones, mediante una fórmula confederal, la semejanza cultural esencial entre Europa y Norteamérica, lo que le daría visibilidad, fortaleza y coherencia, reconocimiento y aprecio públicos. Occidente no debe diluirse en el multiculturalismo que frívolamente proponen algunos. Para que el diálogo conduzca a algo que no sea el desencuentro no basta la buena voluntad. Hacen falta hombres inspirados, capaces de mirar lejos y de forjar nuevos esquemas de pensamiento semejantes a los cinco que constituyen la esencia de Occidente, que los preserven y los ensanchen.

Señoras y señores. Quiero comenzar dando la enhorabuena a FAES por esta segunda convocatoria de su Campus de Navacerrada. Sé que han sido unas jornadas intensas y fructíferas tanto por el nivel de los debates como por las conclusiones alcanzadas. Creo que hoy podemos afirmar que FAES y su Campus de verano han sabido ganarse la atención y el respeto de quienes se interesan por las ideas políticas en España.
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”.
