SMETTI DI TEMERE LA MORTE - #Vita #Tempo #Angoscia #Libertà #PensieroCritico #Psicologia

Why do we fear death so deeply? What if the real problem isn't death itself, but how we imagine it? Is it possible to live without being dominated by the fear of the end? In this lecture, Umberto Galimberti addresses one of the great themes of philosophy: the meaning of death and its relationship to human existence. Drawing on the thought of Epicurus, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and the Western tradition, the philosopher reflects on how the awareness of mortality influences every choice in our lives. According to Galimberti, death is not an event we can truly experience: as long as we are alive, death is not present; when it arrives, we are no longer here. Yet, we construct much of our existence under the weight of the anguish of the end, allowing the future to subtract meaning from the present. The lecture explores the relationship between death, time, and freedom, showing how philosophy does not invite us to deny death, but rather to not let its fear prevent us from living fully. Only by accepting the limits of existence is it possible to inhabit the present with authenticity and value every moment. A reflection on the meaning of death, the courage to live, and the search for a freedom born from the awareness of our finitude. #Nietzsche #Being #Conference #ContemporaryPhilosophy #Reflection #HumanCondition #Destiny #Living
