In the new episode of the Giustiniani Report, Prof. Pasquale Giustiniani offers a dense reflection on the so-called "philosophical leopardism", relaunched by the recent conferences promoted by the Center for Italian Philosophy. At the center, not only the poetics of the landscape and the cosmic pessimism of the Recanatese, but the questioning of modern man, suffering as a natural destiny, and the comparison - unprecedented and stimulating - with contemporary thinkers such as Vico, Gravina and the Neapolitan neo-Thomism of Sanseverino.
A journey between poetic pessimism and speculative philosophy, passing through Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and nineteenth-century Christian thought. There is no shortage of references to the question of Leopardi's remains in Fuorigrotta and the controversial Catholic reception of his work.
🎙️ An episode that questions the consistency of nothingness, the poetic vocation, and the modernity of Leopardi's thought in today's crisis.
