I would like to share some personal notes about myself....
Since the beginning of the ​1970s​ in  ​H​igh School I was very clever in the history and ph​i​losophy and  ​I​ was discovering the  ​misconceptions  ( ​in regards to​ the  ​place of ​humanit​ies​ in art and science) that the  ​political ​hier​ar​ch​i​​​es ​within the​ Church​  ​(​​as well as the ​Romans  ​)​ were  ​committing in regards to the roots of western culture,  ​even though ​some philosophers and wise men and ​women  ​still  ​admired the high civilization of the native indigenous people of Southern Italy.  ​These misconceptions of the origins of Western culture have cost the modern age (and obviously to all the ages since the 2500 years ago)  ​a lack of​ understanding o​f the real meaning  ​of​ some words  ​including the​ episteme of Earth-Life ....like "Being, Psyche, Eros ,Therapy, ​Sophy, Universe, Science, Art, Good, etc  ​.​" ​  ​Thinking that most of those words were coined in that  ​Classical ​Age, you can have ​,​ if you want​,​ the value of the deep heritage of the reality that ​has been and continues to be los​t​ for  ​our humanity​.​  I am able to demonstrate what I said with my own life experience (Ii was the only child of a suicide mother taking care of her at risk of my own Life) and I  ​have been a clinician ​for​ 30 years, degreed in Psychology and Philosophy with a psychotherapy training and  ​I have ta​ught in ​both ​foreign and  ​I​talian Universities​, including at the University of west Georgia and University of Dallas.​  ​I​  ​have mostly, thought, stayed outside the academy, choosing​ to be a free thinker!  I was a co-founder of a sustainable community living with hard resiliance in an ecovillage Solinio in Southern Italy.....

Anyway , I am very happy to take part of these worldwide group of human beings. Thank you for the occasion that you are offering to share my thoughts.

Sincerely
Francesco Palmirotta
