Vittorio Cotesta's The Heavens and the Earth traces the origin of
the images of the world typical of the Graeco-Roman, Ancient
Chinese and Medieval Islamic civilisations. Each of them had its
own peculiar way of understanding the universe, life, death,
society, power, humanity and its destiny. The comparative analysis
carried out here suggests that they all shared a common human
aspiration despite their differences: human being is unique;
differences are details which enrich its image. Today, the
traditions derived from these civilisations are often in
competition and conflict. Reference to a common vision of humanity
as a shared universal entity should lead, instead, to a quest for
understanding and dialogue.
