Abstract

This text discusses what fragility is, how many ways it has been interpreted and how many ways we can interpret it. The first section starts from some etymological and historical-cultural reflections. The second one discusses some paradigms of fragility, and some existential and historical models: from ancient to modern and post-modern times. In the final part, the paper addresses the ambiguities hidden in the term resilience and discusses the so-called theory of the anti-fragile, indicating its possibilities and limits.
