the first European festival on creativity

2022 Programme

Event #13

Matteo Nucci

Movement and time: Plato and Nietzsche

According to Plato, time belongs to the dimension of the becoming, whereas eternity rules the being. Movement is only possible in the dimension of time. But how do we, creatures of the becoming, move in time? We usually think of our path as a straight line going from the past into the present and the future. The Ancient people instead believed that movement was circular like the modern philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and his famous idea of the “eternal return of the same”. There cannot be progress from the Creation to the Judgement Day – as the catholic vision says – nor towards the triumph of the reason – as thought during the Enlightenment. Only if we live every single moment with the awareness of the continuous passage between life and death, we can achieve our human nature.
