Philosophical thought was born in Elea, today Velia, two powerfully evocative names. Here the Eleatics, and in particular Parmenides, defined the nature of man, his being: "being is, non-being is not". Western thought begins in this place of Magna Graecia, and we return to Elea/Velia to meditate on being, on identity, on who is and who is not, in every field and in every place. Few are, many are not. Silence grows when the noise ends. After Velia, Paestum, after Paestum the Certosa di Padula, three centers of the world like a perennial center of the mind the medical school of Salerno. In these four points where thought was born, people will arrive who exist because they think, from Parmenides to Descartes and today men of every discipline, in art, literature, theater, cinema, science and in every field where an idea or a way of being has established itself. There will be four G7 of thought: great souls will dialogue with each other led by Greta Mauro, in the presence of Vittorio Sgarbi and Sabrina Colle, in a show financed and produced by the Campania Region, in collaboration with Scabec. There will be monologues and comparisons on being and in front of non-being in a real philosophical journey. Being Christian, being Muslim, being atheist, being poet, being actor, being politician, being precarious, being singer, actor, chef, architect, athlete, traveler, explorer, anthropologist. Who is, and who is not.
