Charisms

Luigino Bruni ()

A chapter in A Lexicon of Social Well-Being, 2015, pp 13-16 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The moral and civil shortcomings of our times are among the results of the expulsion of the charisms from public life, charisms that all too quietly accepted their marginalization and retreated. When the charisms are missing, or when they are considered just some “religious thing” and thus irrelevant to civil life, the economy, politics, and society all drift because they lack the essential resource of gratuitousness. There is in fact an inseparable link between the charisms and gratuitousness.
