Beyond the Suffering of Being: Desire in Giacomo Leopardi and Samuel Beckett
When Samuel Beckett meditated on desire in works such as Proust, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, and Molloy, he returned often to the lines quoted above from Giacomo Leopardi’s poem “A se stesso.” Just before quoting this poem in Proust, Beckett catalogues Leopardi as one of the sages who proposed the only (im)possible solution to living: the removal of desire

Contrasting conditions with and without awareness has been the preferred method for investigating the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) for decades, yet recently it has been suggested that further insights can be made by moving beyond this method, specifically by meticulously controlling that potential precursors and consequences of the NCC are not mistaken for an NCC
