In this work, Fausto Intilla (theorist, aphorist, essayist, inventor, and scientific popularizer), author of nineteen volumes (most of which are scientific in nature), including the bestseller Indagine sulla realtà (Investigation into Reality), offers us a collection of 1776 thoughts, including aphorisms and more articulated reflections, developed over the last three lustra. As the author clearly explains in the preface: “My aphorisms and my brief reflections, often expressed through the use of specific rhetorical figures, simply aim to focus on already known concepts, from a different perspective or angle than the one habitually adopted in confrontation with others, in everyday life. In line with an open logic of the mind, I believe that everything that can induce us to reflect on the most important themes of life – where even spirituality should be placed among these and certainly not last – must be considered a priority over what we are always accustomed to taking for granted, because it was assimilated at a notional level during our lives and never rethought from a philosophical point of view”.
