L'ARTE DELL'ESSENZIALE. UN'ESCURSIONE FILOSOFICA NELLE TERRE ALTE
di Paolo Costa, Bottega Errante edizioni. Stefano Cardini dialoga con l’autore
When walking in the mountains, one may sometimes wonder what is so special about what one is doing, where the sense of joy comes from, despite the fatigue, sweating, cold or rain. L'arte dell’esenziale is an attempt to express the essence and authentic meaning of this common experience in a few key words. Why does going to the mountains make us feel more alive? What is it about the landscape that makes us better? Why is the experience of emptiness as important as the sense of fullness in the midst of the mountains? And why is there nothing wrong with feeling inadequate in the highest lands on earth? Drawing on his personal experience, Paolo Costa takes us on a philosophical excursion through the meadows, peaks, scree and forests of our mountains.
