The Fides ET Ratio encyclical interests in the first place theologians and churchmen who are invited to resume and fruitful dialogue with philosophy, metaphysics in particular. But a pontifical text which deals with relations between faith and reason, encounters naturally and interacts also with the work and research of philosophers. To focus more deeply on the relation between faith and culture, experts in various disciplines (C. Chenis, G. Cottier, V. De Paolis, R. Fisichella, G. Igwebuike Onah, J. Ilunga Muya, B. Mondin, R. Penna, M. Sánchez Sorondo, A. Staglianò, A. Trevisol, M. Zago) came together for a constructive confronation of in-depth study. Book available in English and Italian. (S.L.)
