Le fiabe non raccontano favole. Credere nell'esperienza

[Autom. eng. transl.] "How to deny that not only does it make sense to measure / calculate an experience, but above all that it is not possible in any way to do it? How to measure / calculate the intensity of a pain or a love, the fidelity of a friendship, l "bottomless abyss of anguish, the unbearable weight of a grief, the strength of a faith, the magnificent surprise of astonishment? On the other hand - it will be the problem at the center of these pages - to recognize that experience is incompatible with a mathematical certainty does not at all mean abandoning it to the irrational, as if it were simply the field of the ephemeral and the illusory, but rather it means accepting that its particular mode of being exceeds the type of measure, hence the ratio, of which scientific calculus is the most articulate and mature expression. In fact, within a similar calculation the word of experience can only be a language that is ultimately indecipherable. " A philosophical essay that deals with the theme of experience through the "essential word" of the fairy tale; an articulated reflection on the "journey of the woman" through an original interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White.
