Description
Non e altro che questo, epigrafe funeraria, un nome. Conviene ai morti. A chi ha concluso [...] La vita non conclude. E non sa di nomi, la vita. Pirandello, Uno, nessuno e centomila (223-24) Perhaps the completely uneventful passing of the New Year 2000 should make us realize that the boundaries that we impose upon experience are but artificial constructs, fictions of beginnings and endings that we desperately seek in order to give a sense of origin and closure to our being in time and history. Yet, the acknowledgement that only a partial, limited understanding can be produced by our categories need not be read as symptomatic of cognitive weakness and epistemological failure. As Pirandello well says through the voice of the character of Vitangelo Moscarda, if the Name is a funerary epigraph, an inscription suitable only for that which has gone forever, the impossibility to Name is also a form of "truth," a wisdom disclosing a vision of life as a space of endless possibilities and transformations.
