Totalitarianism, according to the Arendt-influenced philosopher Simona Forti, cannot be considered a threat to democracy from the outside. Instead it is one of the possible responses to the issues raised by modernity that democracies have not managed to resolve. This philosopher and lecturer in political philosophy at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa will be discussing the current rise of totalitarian domination and the neo-imperialism that threatens us, in an interview with philosopher Máriam Martínez-Bascuñán.
