Da un filosofo ti aspetti la barba lunga e il disprezzo per il vile denaro...

"Since we live in the paradoxical condition of both having the world and yet being part of it, we know that when we die the world will still go on, since we are only a part of the world, but in another sense the world that is there for me, behind all things I know, will be extinguished when I am no longer part of it.  Such an extinction is part of the loss we suffer when a close friend dies; it is not just that he is no longer there, but the way the world was for him has also been lost for us.  The world has lost a way of being given, one that had been built up over a lifetime."

Robert Sokolowski, "Introduction to Phenomenology"
