Aspen Seminar on Values and Society 2009
For the third consecutive year and in collaboration with The Aspen Institute, the Aspen Seminar on Values and Society was held in Italy. Since 1951, this series of seminars, conducted in English, has been the widely-acclaimed cornerstone program of the Aspen Institute tradition in the United States. This latest event in the series involved Italian and overseas participants who, through an analysis and discussion of texts by classical and contemporary authors, debated the major universal values and their relationship with the issues of today.
