La parresia tra diritto, potere e vita spirituale: attualità di una nozione antica

ABSTRACT - In this paper I expose some reflections arising from the reading of M. La Torre’s book, Libertà di parola. Cittadinanza e avvocatura. The book highlights the relationships between legal profession and status of citizen through the notion of parrhesia. I analyze some of La Torre’s theses, then I draw inspiration from his book to propose some further remarks concerning the parrhesia as a concept and as a practice: its classical roots in ancient Greek literature and its spiritual meaning in the New Testament.
