“L’iridata spuma dell’istante”. Forma, evento, tempo, periechon nell’opera di Carlo Diano

To read the complete works of Carlo Diano – the preparatory Notebooks, the whole hermeneutic exploration with its immense philological, philosophical, literary background – means to penetrate into the «secret» laboratory of the Author’s reflection, to find the tracks of his itinerary of thought in its auroral prefiguration, to rediscover the links with the European culture of his period. Moreover, this represents also a lesson that is still very topical, the lesson of a classic. In this essay, the focus is on some of Diano’s fundamental themes: form, event, time, periechon.
