It seems absurd, and yet it is the pure truth, that, since everything real is nothing, the only reality and the only substance in the world consists of illusions

Great quote.
I'm unfamiliar with Giacomo #Leopardi. Thank you for alerting me to him.
#Ultrafilosofia - greatly loving knowledge?? He apparently only used this word once. Perhaps meaning reconciliation of nature & thought??
All life lives in illusion & suffers & dies in it.

"Leopardi argues that we must pursue an “ultrafilosofia” that accepts the limits of analytic reason and knits it together with the synthesizing power of imagination."
