“Diario civile” testimonia il lato militante di uno dei più importanti intellettuali della seconda metà del Novecento. Una raccolta, a cura di Paolo Di Stefano, degli interventi apparsi sul Corriere della Sera in cui Cesare Segre ha indagato inquietudini, dubbi, malesseri e speranze del nostro tempo. È il 1988 quando il filologo e semiologo Segre inizia a ragionare pubblicamente sui temi che ogni giorno lo interrogano e stimolano le sue riflessioni. Ne nasce un dialogo sul contemporaneo che lo coinvolgerà per venticinque anni: venticinque anni di domande, analisi, critiche, ragionamenti, discussioni e anche accese polemiche intorno a letteratura e politica, società e religione, cultura e cambiamento..
