Cosa fareste potendo sfruttare un anello che rende invisibile chi lo porta? Platone, nella Repubblica, non si faceva troppe illusioni. Quanto a Eraclito, è vero che «tutto scorre»? Nietzsche, invece, cosa intendeva quando proclamava che Dio è morto – è possibile vivere in un mondo senza Dio? E con Dio? Difficile rispondere e difficile accettare che noi non siamo quello che pensiamo di essere, come hanno spiegato Freud e Montaigne. O ancora, cosa pensa Bergson del tempo? Cosa significa la banalità del male, di cui parla Hannah Arendt?
