Abstract

The perception of ourselves, of others, of those around us, of those we now keep at a distance out of social obligation and good manners. Time dystonia and a blurred future. Illness, seclusion, death and its removal. How much and how has the pandemic changed us? On what previous and endemic evils of our civilisation has it turned the spotlight? And how will we emerge from it? These are the questions and topics that animate the conversation with Umberto Galimberti, philosopher, psychologist and anthropologist who has investigated the body and evil, myths and language, nihilism, the misunderstandings of the soul, psyche and techne, eros and madness.
