This book is also dear to me for a more immediate reason. I am currently responsible for the Life Project of young people between fourteen and eighteen years old, and I am the author of the lessons that attempt, week after week, to get them to ask themselves the question that Sandro poses in the title. It is no small responsibility. And that is precisely why I am reading this essay with redoubled attention: because I know, from experience, how difficult it is to make the question what is life? a living question for those who have not yet lived enough to feel it as urgent. What Sandro offers, and what I would recommend as a key to understanding for any teacher, counselor, or educator who comes across this book, is not an answer. It is a method. The method of taking one's own experience seriously as a subject for reflection. Of not separating what one thinks from what one has lived. Of understanding that philosophy does not begin in books-it begins in wonder at one's own existence, and books are merely interlocutors of that wonder. If you don't like prefaces, you can start now. The author has much more to say.
