Que investigadores da Península Ibérica estudem a História de Roma poderá não constituir admiração, porque os Romanos estiveram lá, há vestígios das suas cidades, subsistem inscrições a dar conta de nomes de pessoas e de divindades ... Poderia, porém, estranhar-se que a América Latina assistisse, cada vez mais, a redobrado interesse pelo que aconteceu nessas remotas eras. Não é de admirar! A identidade de cada um dos países postula o reencontro das suas raízes - e essas estão, não há dúvida, nas margens mediterrânicas. Temos, pois, ementa bem recheada e variada, opiparamente servida por mais de uma trintena de investigadores, provenientes de universidades do Brasil, da Argentina, de Portugal, do México, Uruguai, Chile, Espanha. Fecunda e diversificada panorâmica esta, em que a arrumação temática vivifica o já de per si variegado cromatismo do mosaico. Toda a documentação da mais variada índole é, pois, chamada a intervir para traçar uma perspectiva abrangente tanto no espaço como no tempo, pois que por aqui perpassa toda a Antiguidade Clássica (Grécia e Roma) desde o Oriente ao Ocidente, desde uma Corinto arcaica ao papel desempenhado pelos Vândalos na «transição entre a Antiguidade e o feudalismo»...As manifestações artísticas, mesmo que em singelos artefactos cerâmicos, revelam perspicaz olhar sobre a realidade circundante. Uma das características, a meu ver, da investigação sobre História Antiga na América Latina reside no recurso às fontes literárias, cuja análise entusiasma, dado que aí, inclusive, se «experimentam» aplicações de teorias sobre a História e a Sociedade. Aliás, não surpreende a influência do quotidiano (agora, global): identidade e confronto, o local versus o global, o pragmatismo do concreto contra a aparente inutilidade da abstracção... E essa misteriosa simbiose entre os poderes político, económico, militar e religioso? Sentimo-la intensamente nos nossos dias, mais ou menos evidente aqui e além.

"This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series extends democracy to knowledge in two ways. First, it argues that the issues science seeks to clarify are relevant for all citizens. Second, it explains that the fundamental problems faced by any democracy, such as the economic crisis, are not so much problems of political will as cognitive failures that must be resolved through both a greater knowledge of the realities over which we govern and a fine-tuning of the tools of governance. In fact, knowledge and related fields are spheres in which not only economic prosperity, but also democratic quality, are determined. Thus politics of knowledge and through knowledge has become a question of democratic citizenship. After introducing the concept of governing knowledge, the book discusses the political action of collective organization of uncertainty, before developing the idea of the cognitive challenge of the economy, revealed by today's economic crisis. A groundbreaking work by a renowned philosopher, it will be an accessible and fundamental resource for anyone interested in the relation of power to knowledge."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
