Festa e tempo della memoria
Editoriale italiano
Abstract
The current and the next issues of “Spazio Filosofico”, both devoted to Festival (Festival I and II respectively), are dedicated to Ugo Perone on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
The choice of the theme has not been accidental – the concept of “festival/holiday” plays in fact an important role in Perone’s thought. As centers of reality, holidays constitute something like the form and the interruption of reality; they represent what, in reality, is truly real (the reality of the real). Perone adds that for this reason, memory is always intentioned to holidays: “In memory, we always recall that which is festive […], we remember that which is worth staying.”
