Pinocchio: A Philosophical Analysis
19.99 €
A multifaceted analysis of the classical plot from a leading European philosopher, supplemented by canonical illustrations.
The famous work of Carlo Collodi was subjected to a variety of interpretations: from Masonic and esoteric to theological and philosophical. After all, under the liveliness of language and a cheerful plot, you can find the richness, complexity and plurality of meanings. Giorgio Agamben turns his sharp philosophical view on the history of the famous puppet and offers his own nuanced interpretation.
As in the Eleusinian Mysteries, so in the history of Pinocchio, the point is not to communicate to the reader something secret, which is forbidden to tell to outsiders. The wooden man undergoes this rite through the habitation of a series of events . . .; like the Apuleian Lucius, he experiences initiation, and is dedicated primarily to his own life.
