Nietzsche, invece, cosa intendeva quando proclamava che Dio è morto – è possibile vivere in un mondo senza Dio? E con Dio? Difficile rispondere e difficile accettare che noi non siamo quello che pensiamo di essere, come hanno spiegato Freud e Montaigne. O ancora, cosa pensa Bergson del tempo?

Sailing on a boat by yourself out at sea and out of sight of land can be exhilarating or terrifying, compelling or tedious - sometimes it can be all of these things just in one morning.
