From the Asylum to the Royal Academy: Some Reflections on Plato’s Ideas
How the experience in asylums inspired a project aimed at restoring dignity and meaning to people with mental disorders, giving rise to La Fageda as a community where meaningful work allows for a fulfilling life.
Furthermore, this inaugural address addresses Plato’s ideas, especially his vision of knowledge and the soul, which will guide the project’s philosophy and inform its decisions and good governance.
