Preservate o decise? Ridotte o eluse? Le situazioni atmosferiche alla prova del linguaggio

Abstract

Through an atmospherological approach, primarily inspired by the New Phenomenology (Hermann Schmitz), the paper investigates the relationship between emotional situations and language, sketching briefly some less known solutions of philosophical anthropology: the atmospheric situation can be experienced and partially preserved thanks to a special kind of language (Rothacker), can be lived only by virtue of a linguistic decision-interpretation (Lipps), can be said but only in a reductionist way (Schmitz), and finally can be tolerated only through the indefinite delay of language (Blumenberg).
