\"DistruzioneCreativa\"<\/a><\/strong>In his introduction to Bruni\u2019s new book entitled, \u201cCreative Destruction,\u201d Marco Tarquinio, Director of the Catholic newspaper wrote: \u00abBruni was well aware that this line of thought would lead him to the confines separating the human and the inhuman and regrettably, also beyond, to the complex organisations prevalently driven by material objectives. He perfectly knew that in writing about these issues, i.e., about \u201cproduction\u201d and \u201cmarketing\u201d organisations and thus, of the creativity of relationships and employment, he would eventually have to focus on the organisations driven by ideals and other aspirations of the human spirit,\u00bb bringing both fields \u00abto face the same challenge of renewal without losing their roots and driving spirit.\u00bb Published by New City Press, the book is a collection of selected articles published in 2015 on Avvenire, taken from the series, \u201cThe midwives of Egypt,\u201d and \u201cRegenerations.\u201d In the book\u2019s last chapter entitled, \u201cThe periphery is where we learn to resurrect,\u201d Bruni comes to the conclusion of his work and the challenges resulting from his reflection which took him some months to delineate. He introduces his proposals with a phrase of the German poet, Friedrich H\u00f6lderlin: \u201cGod created man the way the sea created the continents: through withdrawal.\u201d Here are some passages which in a way introduce us to the book proper: \u00abA movement that with time has turned into an organisation can undergo a charismatic renewal, if in some marginal zone of the \u201cKingdom\u201d some creative minorities start reconstituting the conditions needed to revive the same miracle of the charism\u2019s first foundation: the same enthusiasm, joy, and the same fruits. The true process that brings this very same minority to become the majority is called reform. [\u2026] It is a decisive process that has to be undertaken unhurriedly, and should involve and activate the dynamic settings of creativity, going out to them \u201cat the confines of the empire.\u201d All this is certainly and firstly, a gift (charis), but also signifies wise organisation, and deep, spiritual, prophetic, and transformative intelligence. [\u2026] Many new \u201cevangelisations\u201d come about upon recounting the good news, and we are able to feel it come alive in us, in a new and diverse manner. This is how a new-ancient love story is reborn \u2013 a new eros, new desires, new generativity, and new children. [\u2026] The charism may thus flourish again and resume its encounter with people in the streets, forgetting its own organisations so as to tend to the wounds and sufferings of the men and woman today, especially of the poorer ones, [\u2026] creatively interpreting their own mission in the present time.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The new work of Luigino Bruni, economist and philosopher, runs parallel to the renewal of complex and greatly divergent organisations such as big business corporations and the movements inspired by a prevalently spiritual charism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-327878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-categorizzato"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327878\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
