Custodire la distanza. Una riflessione sulla profondità come dimensione amorosa a partire da François Jullien

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection on depth as the dimension in which the experience of love takes place. Because depth is co-instituited with the motor ability of a subject who is capable of going through space, it is the necessary condition for two subjects to approach each other. Referring to François Jullien’s notion of de-coincidence, in its various forms, this paper attempts to value distance and the “écart”, as the two main aspects of the relation with the other.
