About Presence of Mind
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe and discuss a specific human ability: the presence of mind. I will present it through the philosophical “portraits” of Benjamin (Geistesgegenwart), Montaigne (promptitude) and Aristotle (eustochia). Then, I will suggest and argue that the presence of mind is a good example of what we may call “practice of immanence”, contextualizing such a concept in the contemporary Italian philosophical debate.
