“All'apparir del vero”: la sfida del visibile, la cattura del bene Declinazioni filosofiche e rifrazioni concettuali

Abstract

This paper aims to cross some of the linguistic and conceptual crossroads of the rich notion of καιρός, examined in its connection with the topic of appearance. After identifying a first fundamental distinction between the “spatial dimension” and the “temporal dimension” of the καιρός, we focus on the intertwining between καιρός, speed and slowness; on the multiple connections between καιρός, good and just measure, on the responsibility of appearance and on the need to grasp the καιρός for the realization of a good and happy life.
