Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questo volume, tradotto qui integralmente e per la prima volta nella sua versione definitiva (1967), Löwith perviene agli esiti più maturi del suo confronto con la modernità. Cosa devono tornare a essere il mondo e l’uomo, dopo la «caduta di Dio» consumatasi nella coscienza moderna? È rispetto a questa ineludibile domanda che emerge l’incapacità della filosofia moderna, da Cartesio e Kant fino a Hegel e al nichilismo di Stirner, di emanciparsi effettivamente dal creazionismo e dall’antropocentrismo di ascendenza biblica. La concezione meccanicistica del mondo e le moderne «metafisiche della soggettività» smarriscono l’autentica sostanza religiosa della fede nel Dio sovrannaturale e creatore della tradizione, ma non sanno ripristinare la nozione di natura. Precipitano anzi l’uomo cristiano-moderno in un mondo divenuto ormai estraneo e privo di senso: in un esilio o nichilismo cosmico che riguarda non solo l’idealismo di Fichte o il disprezzo per la natura di Hegel, ma anche le filosofie di Husserl, Heidegger e Sartre. C’è tuttavia anche un’altra modernità: quella in cui l’a-teismo giunge al proprio compimento. Perciò in Dio, uomo e mondo Löwith, oltre che con Feuerbach e Nietzsche, «filosofo del nostro tempo», si confronta, con un’intensità che non ha precedenti lungo tutta la sua ricerca, anche con Spinoza: con il «Mosè dei materialisti moderni» (Feuerbach) che ha saputo uscire da ogni metafisica della volontà e restituire «la propria verità alla natura di tutte le cose». È con questa linea di pensiero che anche il naturalismo di Löwith instaura un dialogo di grande attualità per tutti coloro che si sentono «irretiti» nell’emancipazione moderna dall’orizzonte metafisico: che collocano, cioè, la propria ricerca e la propria vita «in un universo senza Dio» e sono interessati a tornare alla prospettiva di una natura (physis) sempiterna che sia anche dimora cosmica dell’uomo che a essa appartiene.

Download or read book The Unpolitical written by Massimo Cacciari and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massimo Cacciari is one of the leading public intellectuals in today's Italy, both as an outstanding philosopher and political thinker and as now three times (and currently) the mayor of Venice. This collection of essays on political topics provides the best introduction in English to his thought to date. The political focus does not, however, prevent these essays from being an introduction to the full range of Cacciari's thought. The present collection includes chapters on Hofmannstahl, Lukács, Benjamin, Nietzsche, Weber, Derrida, Schmitt, Canetti, and Aeschylus. Written between 1978 and 2006, these essays engagingly address the most hidden tradition in European political thought: the Unpolitical. Far from being a refusal of politics, the Unpolitical represents a merciless critique of political reason and a way out of the now impracticable consolations of utopia and harmonious community. Drawing freely from philosophy and literature, The Unpolitical represents a powerful contribution to contemporary political theory. A lucid and engaging Introduction by Alessandro Carrera sets these essays in the context of Cacciari's work generally and in the broadest context of its historical and geographical backdrop.

Book excerpt: This brief survey of Professor Karl LOwith's analysis of the modem histori cal consciousness is the outgrowth of a year's study at the University of Heidelberg while Professor L6with was still an active member of the faculty. An early version, in the form of a dissertation, was submitted to the History Department of Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Numerous friends and colleagues have helped me at various stages of this work and I am indebted to them even though I cannot name them all indi vidually. However special thanks must be accorded to Professor W. J. Bos senbrook of Wayne State University for introducing me to the entire prob lem of anti-historicism and to Professor LOwith's work. I am also greatly indebted to Professor John Barlow of Indiana University for his patient assistance with the translations, however the final responsibility for all renditions rests, of course, solely with the author.

This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The approach to the theme of the body within the framework of phenomenology is developed in 20th century France. Despite the evident Cartesianism, it is there that the principles of a phenomenology of the body are configured, in the confluence between the phenomenological tradition and the philosophy of existence. The systematic development of the phenomenology of the body, which takes centered reflection on the corporeal existence and the incarnated subject, corresponds, among others, to Gabriel Marcel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Bernhard Waldenfels. The phenomenology of the body opens a new horizon to understand the corporeal dimension of human existence and offers a new philosophical view of the body, while the body is not only an observable reality as an object, but it is a dimension of the being itself, as, according to Merleau-Ponty, from the phenomenology of “corporeal existence”, the body is the “medium” of our “being-in-the-world”. That is precisely why it can be radically said that “being-in-the-world” (Heidegger) is primarily a “corporal-being-in-the-world" (Waldenfels). This implies “belonging to the world”, being “implicated” in the world through the body and, also, that the body opens a subject to the world. The phenomenology of the body sought to restore the unity of human existence. Husserl, Scheler, Marcel, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Waldenfels, among others, break with the modern mechanistic conception of the body and resignify subjectivity and objectivity, in open opposition to the dualistic tradition. The phenomenology of corporeal existence makes the body our way-to-be-in-the-world. The body not only ceases to be an object, but also a passive structure, receiving a reality configured by the confines of res cogitans. Based on Husserl, a theory of the phenomenological body is developed, which will reverse the subordinate role that the body had in Cartesian thought. Merleau-Ponty, who t

Download or read book On Vulnerability written by Miquel Seguró Mendlewicz and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-01-26 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We tend to understand vulnerability in one of two ways: (1) the measure of everything that happens to us, or (2) that it legitimizes the current discourses and the halo of authority that fashion grants. However, we should think of vulnerability as being affectable both to and by others. In On Vulnerability: A Philosophical Anthropology Miquel Seguró Mendlewicz projects vulnerability as a condition of human life and the central concept to understand our existential position in the world. The philosophical journey is structured around two fundamental areas: the existential reality of vulnerability (its pathos) and the decision to integrate it and live it as an ethical and political reality (its ethos). Using the work of René Descartes, whose philosophy the author presents as conducive to meditating on vulnerability, Seguró Mendlewicz proposes a philosophical reflection that projects vulnerability as a condition of human life in all its magnitudes. Therefore, this book explores all facets of vulnerability, the real impact of what being vulnerable means, and the dangers implied when something becomes trendy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Ammesso che all’essere umano riuscisse di dominare il mondo della natura, allora l’essere umano non sarebbe più essere umano e il mondo non sarebbe più mondo». «Noi tutti oggi esistiamo e pensiamo nell’orizzonte della storia e dei suoi destini, ma non viviamo più nell’ambito del mondo naturale. Ci manca l’unico mondo, quello che è più antico e durevole degli esseri umani. Mondo e mondo umano non sono equiparabili. Il mondo fisico può essere pensato senza fare alcun riferimento all’esistenza degli esseri umani, ma nessun essere umano è pensabile senza il mondo». Scritti nella piena maturità, questi saggi ruotano intorno a uno dei problemi oggi più dibattuti: il rapporto con «la natura – intorno a noi e in noi stessi», come Orlando Franceschelli precisa nell’Introduzione, richiamando la cruciale critica teorica mossa da Löwith a Heidegger. Löwith analizza il passaggio dalla visione greca del cosmo fisico, frutto di un’indagine ammirata e rispettosa, alla concezione del mondo come creazione di Dio – esemplare il confronto con Teilhard de Chardin – e infine allo spaesamento o nichilismo cosmologico in cui precipitano la coscienza e le società moderne che, emancipatesi dalla fede nella creazione, riducono la natura a un mero oggetto da usare a nostro piacimento. Da questi passaggi è alimentata anche la prospettiva di progresso illimitato che invece Löwith invita a riesaminare con spirito critico: senza alcuna svalutazione degli avanzamenti compiuti grazie alla scienza e alla tecnica, e senza cedere al rassegnato fatalismo con cui ormai guardiamo a un progresso tecnologico che sentiamo incombere su di noi ma i cui effetti pratici riusciamo sempre meno a controllare. Ritenuto un’anticipazione quasi profetica anche da autorevoli teologi, oggi, a cinquant’anni dalla morte di Löwith, questo richiamo a riconciliare le nostre vite e la storia con la realtà naturale – col cosmo – di cui sono parte risulta ancora più utile: un richiamo filosofico, etico-politico ed ineludibile per comprendere le sfide del presente e fronteggiare l’epocale crisi ambientale e socio-sanitaria in cui ormai è coinvolto l’intero pianeta.

Download or read book IL SOGNATORE DEL MONDO VERO written by Alessio Arzuffi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carne, sangue, acciaio, plastica e tutti i materiali possibili e immaginabili: non solo, il mondo è fatto anche di idee. A volte, un'idea può cambiare il mondo. Non è un'ipotesi: è un dato di fatto. Ci sono idee che, come le stelle in cielo, illuminano la Terra per epoche intere. Come le stelle, le idee ogni tanto tramontano, e non è detto che, prima di scomparire per sempre, diventino nefasti buchi neri. Le idee possono salvare, ma anche uccidere.Il Sognatore del «Mondo vero» parte dall'idea che per Sigmund Freud sia possibile, sulla base della metodologia scientifica, arrivare a una Visione del mondo razionale, coerente, libera da millenarie illusioni. Ma la psicoanalisi può e deve essere ritenuta a tutti gli effetti -- scienza? Domanda di capitale importanza, se si pensa che il banco di prova sperimentale della verità della psicoanalisi sono i suoi pazienti, donne e uomini in carne e ossa...Un viaggio alle sorgenti del pensiero freudiano, alla luce di un'unica parola, antica quanto l'uomo: "libertà".
