Cărturești Verona hosts a debate on Tuesday 10 November at 7:00 pm, based on the book „De ce suveranismul?" (Why Sovereignism?) by Andrei Colțea (Cartex, 2026). The participants are Ciprian Ciucu (Mayor of Bucharest), Rodica Culcer (journalist), Vasile Bănescu (theologian), Sever Avram (journalist), Andrei Colțea (anthropologist) and Lucian Pricop (editor).
The book explains the appeal of sovereignism through anthropological and psychological factors: the need for identity and meaning, which becomes more acute once basic needs are met, in a rapidly changing world. The author draws an analogy between sovereignism and religious patterns. Andrei-Răzvan Colțea holds a PhD in Global Studies from Shanghai University, is a columnist at Comunitatea Liberală and author of the volume Complexifying Religion (Springer, 2023).
The event ends with a book signing. Details: www.facebook.com/events/1110058598609887
