Rather than addressing the buzz-word « happiness » and its self-centred subjectivity, a global anthropological approach to the « civilisation serenity » could enable us to consider and manage the four basic epistemological fields in which human beings realize themselves:
– the objective one, with special reference to the exact sciences,
– the subjective one with in particular the psychology of the deep self,
– the inter-subjective one involving cultural, political and sociological fields,
– and, finally, the transcendental one dealing with beliefs, religious, mythological or otherwise.
This broad inter-systemic and Heraclitean approach allows for better views on sustainability and long term tools for the understanding and management of our common future.
Analyzing “the good government “, i.e. the wall paintings of Lorenzetti in the Town Hall of Sienna, gives us outstanding lessons on the wisdom of our ancestors with reference to the questioned issues, giving us hints on how to deal with the eternal questions and dilemmas humanity is confronted with.
