Carlo Michelstaedter (1887–1910) was an Italian philosopher, poet, and writer. He is best known for his philosophical work, particularly his only book, "Persuasion and Rhetoric," which expresses his existential concerns and explores themes of life, death, and the human condition. The book reflects Michelstaedter's belief that true meaning in life comes from a deep personal conviction and existential authenticity, contrasting with the superficiality he perceived in society.
