About this ebook
What is this “mania for prohibition” that invades both public and private spaces? What does the proliferation of prohibitions imply in our everyday lives, and what consequences does it have on our social ties and our individual and intimate behavior? Do they impose a necessary norm for “living well together”, or do they generate a liberating temptation?
