Welcome to ANTIDOTE

Seeing the intractable nature of social and psychological problems, one can either seek refuge in one of the many available ideological rationalizations of the human condition or, instead, attempt to understand by oneself what is the root and nature of human suffering and, consequently, be an independent, serious, and responsible human being.

This deliberate option of freeing oneself from tradition and authority—of refusing to commit oneself to any particular group, ideology, or pseudo solution—leads to a much deeper observation of the self and of the social and natural worlds in which we coexist. And in the peculiar mental space that results from this action, a crucial question poses itself: —Is there an entirely different mode of human existence, one in which the mind is entirely free of self-centeredness?

ANTIDOTE has been conceived with the sole purpose of nourishing the reflection and dialogue of those for whom this possibility of true freedom is the only issue that matters.
