Cooperation between similar individuals and symbioses between different species have shaped the history of life on Earth. In nature, symbiosis and cooperation are the rule, not the exception. No individual truly lives alone: each species is intertwined with others, each individual interacts with its peers, all are part of a community in constant exchange. Maurizio Casiraghi and Telmo Pievani (United for Life, Il Mulino), two of Italy's most authoritative and brilliant scientists and philosophers of science, tell us about these lifelong unions, suspended between conflict and collaboration, and also prompt us to reflect on the complexities of human relationships. Moderated by Giorgio Volpi.
