Abstract

The word "necation" (= killing, or murder; from the Italian "necare") refers to the dimension where death and negation are hand in glove with each other. Just this feature made them both (death and negation) to be the paradigm itself of undeniable truth: death/negation is undeniable because even who denies it confirms it. In our age mankind seems destined to get over death, through technological means, and therefore to get over negation. But this goal can be achieved only by freeing ourselves from the "negative trap": the negative cannot be avoided because even the non negative (being negative towards the negative) is negative. This liberation happens inside a perspective able to distinguish difference from negation. Likewise, overcoming the age of mortals is tantamount to accomplishing human dreams, rather than causing the discarding of mortal beings, only inasmuch as human beings are able to realize a practical and stylistic gesture purely free from necation.
