To support this thesis, there is a conceptual path that implied a definition of our psyche, conscious and unconscious; an analysis of the role of religion and our symbolic life; the identification of a spiritual crisis of modernity that led us to the problem of freedom, as a fundamental human aspiration. All these topics allowed us to establish the thesis about happiness. 2025-03-10T00:00:00Z
