La pratica del silenzio in ambito monastico, pratica profondamente incorporata e agita a livello fisico (mentale e corporeo), agisce su livelli percettivi della persona e permette di costruire il piano valoriale del religioso di appartenenza. Il semplice gesto del tacere costruisce il piano teorico di riferimento e delinea la norma e i parametri di senso e di valore che la religiosa persegue. È la pratica che costruisce i principi che diventano principi di senso per la vita religiosa.

Abstract
The practice of silence in the monastic environment, a practice deeply incorporated and acted out on a mental and bodily level, acts on perceptual levels of the person and allows to build the value plan of the religious one belongs to. The simple gesture of silence builds the theoretical reference plane and outlines the norm and the parameters of meaning and value that the nun pursues. It is the practice that builds the principles that become principles of meaning for religious life.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
