| description | The paper examines a fundamental and little studied issue of political theology: the relationship between the defense of the immortality of the soul and the preservation of public order. It carries out a historical survey of authors such as Pietro

Finally, the article analyzes the arguments proposed to show that its efficacy is conditioned by the historical situation. |
