Ancona, 10/15/2022 Sala Polveri della Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona, Dialogues: Will we exist after death? In the twentieth century, death has taken on more fearsome aspects than ever. A vast philosophical tradition has been called into question. Religions have gone through a long eclipse. We find ourselves alone in the face of death, without a framework within which to encounter and signify it. But knowing how to encounter and signify death is essential for living and for consciously directing our choices. And it is not a given that our predominantly scientific and rationalist gaze does not allow us to rethink death in a non-nihilistic way. Without contravening the laws of nature, but reinterpreting those laws in a new way.
