Editoriale a Ágnes Heller (1929 - 2019) In memoriam The Utopia of Conversation

That swing of the pendulum, with which our time was represented, (Heller 1990), and which either moves forwards denying "what has been" or nostalgically back to the past and therefore eager to recover what has been broken, seems to perpetuate itself in the most sensi- tive beings. When exhausted by the endless and incessant struggle between what is fleeting and what remains, they take refuge in the kingdom of "high culture" (Heller 1999) in order to find a stable hom e in which to shelter themselves from the uncertainty of these continuous oscillations (Costanzo 2007).
