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 excerpt: Aonia edizioni. Dopo un viaggio di due mesi Erasmo raggiunse l'Inghilterra e fu ospite dell'amico Moro. Durante un periodo di malattia, riprese la sua idea di scrivere un Moriae Encomium o Elogio della Follia (latino: Stultitiæ Laus; greco: Morias Enkomion - Μωρίας Εγκώμιον, olandese: Lof der Zotheid). Lo scritto fu pubblicato a Parigi nel 1511, ebbe una seconda edizione aumentata nel 1514, e nel 1515 apparve a Basilea, per l'editore Froben, la versione definitiva con un commento dell'umanista olandese Gerard Listrius, scritto in parte dallo stesso Erasmo. Il lavoro fu redatto, compilato e completato originariamente nel giro di una settimana mentre soggiornava con Tommaso Moro nella residenza di quest'ultimo a Bucklersbury. Elogio della follia è considerato uno dei lavori letterari più influenti della civiltà occidentale e uno fra i catalizzatori della Riforma protestante... (Wik.)

Download or read book Elliott Carter written by Felix Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously unseen letters, documents and photographs trace the life and artistic evolution of Elliott Carter, and capture his friendships with fellow musicians and others. Born in New York in December 1908, the venerable but still active American composer Elliott Carter is one of the most highly regarded figures in the music of our time. His works span more than seven decades and have been the subject of many analyses, and most of his writings have appeared in carefully edited collections. In contrast, few of the documents on his life and music, largely preserved at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, are known to the public. This body of material forms the main source of the present volume, which offers a richly annotated selection of Carter's correspondence and other documents, including unpublished writings, facsimiles of music manuscripts, and photographs. The book traces the biographical, intellectual, and artistic evolution of a composer who, building on American modernism and interacting with the latest developments in Europe, has forged a distinctive, highly sophisticated musical language, and captures his friendships with fellow musicians and friends such as Charles Ives, Nadia Boulanger, John Kirkpatrick, Aaron Copland, Nicolas Nabokov, and more recently, Pierre Boulez, Oliver Knussen, Heinz Holliger, Daniel Barenboim, and James Levine. Published in association with the Paul Sacher Foundation.
