"The essay, as a cognitive endeavor to approach a subject of general or specific interest, develops the necessary intellectual effort in the described field that encompasses the essence of its topic and the related elements. Its main characteristics are: the intensive examination of the whole or of specific parts and the specialized reference to it. This book includes 30 essays – treatises on topics of spiritual, moral, socio-economic, and political content. The writing of these essays is dedicated to the effort to promote human consciousness.

In his new book, lawyer and political scientist Dimitris Siatras explores complex concepts and phenomena in a thorough and detailed manner. This multi-thematic book consists of essays with various aims: philosophical, sociological, political, and anthropological, and their argumentative discourse is grounded in both a broad overview of scientific and philosophical literature as well as the invocation of the author's everyday experience, a product of astute consideration of the complex phenomena he investigates.

With dense and precise language, and a personal style, well-known from the type of essay he successfully cultivates, his work represents yet another significant contribution to the rich tradition of Greek essay writing.
