This book is a ten-step journey around the thought and poetry of
the most sensitive Italian visionary of modernity, Giacomo
Leopardi, whose contribution to Western thought has been acclaimed
by admirers from Schopenhauer to Nietzsche to Benjamin. A variety
of readings, moving between different disciplines and approaches -
including film studies, psychoanalysis, and queer theory - shed new
light on Leopardi's fascinating and at the same time
epistemologically radical compound of poetic imagination and
philosophical complexity. An advocate of an ultra-philosophy, which
aims to negotiate the fracture opened in Western imagination by the
irrecoverable loss of ancient "illusions", Leopardi's thought seems
more relevant than ever in the post-human era, offering an
(un)timely meditation on desire, suffering, and imagination as the
foundational features of humanity.
