【 摘 要 】

Giacomo Leopardi and Fernando Pessoa seem to share an unusually complex metaphysics of boredom, a trace which is strikingly modern. This metaphysics partially feeds upon science and, more specifically, astronomy. This paper looks at the similarities in Leopardi's and Pessoa's intricate philosophies of boredom, which are interwoven with their views on reality and illusion, space and time, relativity and the role of humans in the universe.
