What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani approaches the real through Hegel and the distinction between two German terms. Realität designates empirical, sensible reality, which is real only for opinion. Wirklichkeit, or effective reality, on the contrary contains work. It arises from action and from a becoming, and is reached only through the effort of the concept and the detour through abstraction, not through sensible evidence12. He takes up the formula according to which what is rational is real and what is real is rational. He sees in it a revolutionary statement, of which Plato would be the first moment3. In his view, philosophy conceives what is, not what ought to be4. He applies it to an example: if there are mafias, it is because there are abandoned regions5. He also stresses that the real is in perpetual becoming and immediately contradicts fixed statements. Speaking of music, he says that the escape it offers does not flee the real but seeks it, which implies that in everyday life we are not in it from the outset.
