A short and sharp philosophical speech on an important issue to be rediscovered: the silence as a space for listening to yourself and others, interruption of the noise and chatter. Silence as a game and a condition for the occurrence of the word, the silence of God and gods, the silence of reason that, finally asleep, open to new kinds of understanding, the silence of emptiness, the sound of silence. Carlo Sini introduces the reader in this unusual space and accompanies him to the many possibilities of the silence's experience.
