Download or read book Elogio del paradosso written by Giovanni Messina and published by OMBand D.E.. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nel 1835 veniva pubblicato ad Agen un libro intitolato ”Napoleone non è mai esistito”. L’autore, Jean-Baptiste Pérès, un erudito bibliotecario, dimostrava come l’imperatore dei francesi non fosse mai comparso sulla faccia della terra. La sua storia, spedizione in Russia e Waterloo compresi, risultava essere nient’altro che la trasposizione di un mito solare. Circa un secolo prima, il filosofo irlandese Berkeley era riuscito a fare di più. Riducendo la realtà a immagine del nostro spirito, aveva dimostrato la non esistenza del mondo intero. E tanto convincente dovette essere da ricavarne una nomina a vescovo e una cattedra all’università di Oxford. Va ricordato pure che l’immaterialità del pianeta non gli impedì di fondare una colonia nel nuovo continente sovvenzionata col lavoro degli schiavi delle piantagioni. Secondo questo autore, sono le conclusioni di Voltaire, diecimila uomini uccisi a colpi di cannone non sono nient’altro che diecimila impressioni del nostro spirito. Sono questi due degli esempi più notevoli di paradossi che insieme agli arcinoti esempi di Zenone non hanno giovato alla reputazione del genere, trasformandolo col tempo in sinonimo di sofisma o stramberia. Al tempo dei primi sofisti, tuttavia, il paradosso ha un connotato positivo, è abilità dialettica, capacità di convincere. La sua cattiva fama prende piede quando si inoltra in campi come l’etica e la religione che per loro natura mal sopportano di essere sottoposte a indagine razionale. I libri di Protagora vengono bruciati nella pubblica piazza di Atene non perché l’autore si sia reso colpevole di ragionamenti paradossali, quanto piuttosto perché tali ragionamenti ha provato a estendere alla religione, affermando di non poter sostenere né che gli dei sono, né che non sono. Nel momento in cui la ragione prende a occuparsi della divinità diventa fatalmente blasfema, così come nel momento in cui si occupa dell’autorità finisce col risultare irriverente." Indice: I benefici del progresso; L’elogio della monarchia assoluta; Contro lo stato sociale; In difesa del proibizionismo; A favore dell’eugenetica; Rilettura del nazismo; Il valore dell’ipocrisia “Ho letto questo libretto (ma è tale solo per le dimensioni) con un piacere che è andato sempre aumentando man mano che andavo avanti nella lettura. Educativo, realista, cinico e divertente.” (recensione su internet)

Book Cliccare Obbedire Combattere

Download or read book Cliccare Obbedire Combattere written by Serena Bianchi and published by OMBand D.E.. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Può il M5S realisticamente aspirare al 100% dei voti alle prossime elezioni, superando in questo modo il record attuale che si attesta al 99, 84% e resiste dal 1934? Si può sostenere che colui che "al tempo della rete si presenta come leader andrebbe sottoposto a trattamento sanitario obbligatorio” e poi autonominarsi ufficialmente capo di una forza politica? Il Sole 24ore sostiene che il blog frutti almeno cinque milioni annui. Sarà la volta buona per dimostrare che si può guadagnare con la politica senza rubare? Si troverà un accordo tra coloro le cui entrate aumentano nonostante la loro volontà di decrescita felice, e la maggior parte delle persone, le cui entrate invece diminuiscono a dispetto del loro desiderio di un po’ di crescita felice? Con il marchio registrato l’eredità politica diventerà eredità tout court? Tra i tanti vantaggi offerti dalla rete possiamo includervi quello di guidare un partito da casa senza passare da assenteista? A proposito della democrazia diretta, sono gli italiani pronti a diventare stato quando ancora faticano a diventare condominio? Se tu fai parte di un partito padronale dici quello che vuole il padrone, se fai parte del PD dici tutto e il contrario di tutto, ma che succede se fai parte del partito dell’ego? Si può certificare l’onestà? E quanto dura tale certificazione? Va rinnovata periodicamente? E sarà sufficiente l’onestà o ci vorrà pure la competenza? Basterà che il cuoco non rubi per mandare avanti il ristorante, oppure dovrà anche saper cucinare? Il non-statuto si distingue da un comune statuto perché eterno e immutabile? Innumerevoli misteri aleggiano nell’universo 5S. Questo libro indaga e prova a fare un po’ di luce.

Download or read book Marco Bellocchio written by Clodagh Brook and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Bellocchio is one of Italy's most important and prolific directors, with a career spanning five decades. In this book, Clodagh J. Brook explores the boundaries between the public and the private, the political and the personal, and the collective and the individual as they appear in Bellocchio's films. Including work on psychoanalysis, politics, film production, autobiography, and the relationship between film tradition and contemporary culture, Marco Bellocchio touches on fundamental issues in film analysis. Brook's study interrogates what it means to make personal or anti-institutional art in a medium dominated by a late-capitalist industrial model of production. Her readings of Bellocchio's often enigmatic and perplexing work suggest new ways to answer questions about subjectivity, objectivity, and political commentary in modes of filmmaking. Relating the art of a private director to a public medium, Clodagh J. Brook's work is an important contribution to our understanding of film.

  • Release : 2009-08-10
  • ISBN : 1465315217
  • Pages : 231 pages

Download or read book VOCE DI PRORA written by Bruno Temperoni and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-08-10 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruno Temperoni was born in Rome on March 21, 1918 and died in Bergamo on August 19, 1991. He interrupted his scientific studies in 1938 to serve the military during the Second World War. After six years at the service of the Italian Royal Navy, and having finished a tough, involving military parenthesis, he joined his father in the craftsmanship of furniture. Later with his brother, he continued this activity, developing and expanding the company, until the furniture factory reached a successful artistic commercial level. As an autodidact, having a striking sensitivity, he dedicated himself to what he always loved: prose, poetry, photography, and plastic arts. But it was in painting, his true passion, that he expressed an unquestionable artistic personality receiving recognition from art critics and various prizes: “Mostra d' Arte Lazio 72, II Premio Bianco-Nero”, “ III Premio Mostra d'Arte, Incontro col Teatro Romano," " Mostra Carnevale 73, Premio Personalità".

Book Love and Violence

    Book Details:
  • Author : Lea Melandri
  • Publisher : State University of New York Press
  • Release : 2018-11-30
  • ISBN : 1438472668
  • Pages : 170 pages

Download or read book Love and Violence written by Lea Melandri and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the Italian feminist thinker Lea Melandri argues that systemic violence against women has deep psychoanalytic roots. Drawing inspiration from the work of Freud and the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Elvio Fachinelli, along with feminist practices of consciousness-raising, Melandri demonstrates how male dominance and female subservience are established by society through a binary and oppositional understanding of sex and gender. This understanding—and the oppression and violence against women that results—is inscribed in the psyches of both men and women, and is replicated anew from generation to generation. Melandri analyzes women in media, politics, philosophy, and literature to show how this plays out, and calls for awareness of these deep psychic structures and expectations formed within the dynamics of society and primary family relations.
