Libro dell'esistenza e della libertà vagabonda

* Cornelio Fabro, Libro dell'esistenza e della libertà vagabonda, Morandi E., Pizzuti G. M., Goglia R. (editors), Piemme, 2000.
  • Freedom, observes the philosopher, is potential launched into infinity.
  • We are always exposed to the permanent risk of our contingency: the contingency of the environment, of society, our own intimate contingency. We ourselves oscillate, we are in oscillation with respect to ourselves.
  • A philosophy that consumes itself in thought consumes itself, annihilates itself. Philosophy must open the windows of freedom, the doors of freedom; it must establish freedom. A philosophy that does not establish freedom is a Procrustean bed, a guillotine.
