Forum: Introduction

Abstract

This introduction presents the Forum devoted to the role of charisms in economic and civil life, developed within the framework of the international conference "The Charismatic Principle in the Economic and Civil Life". The authors outline the theoretical hypothesis underlying the Forum: the charismatic principle operates not only within the religious or personal sphere but also as a significant factor in economic, social, and civil processes. The contribution highlights the interdisciplinary character of the research and introduces the principal issues addressed in the essays collected in the Forum.
