Download or read book Viva Voce written by Silvia Benso and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firsthand perspectives on the past, present, and future of contemporary Italian philosophy. Through conversations with twenty-three leading Italian philosophers representing a variety of scholarly concerns and methodologies, this volume offers an informal overview of the background, breadth, and distinctiveness of contemporary Italian philosophy as a tradition. The conversations begin with general questions addressing issues of provenance, domestic and foreign influences, and lineages. Next, each scholar discusses the main tenets, theoretical originality, and timeliness of their work. The interviews conclude with thoughts about what directions each philosopher sees the discipline heading in the future. Every conversation is a testimony to the differences that characterize each thinker as unique and that invigorate the Italian philosophical landscape as a whole. The individual replies differ widely in tone, focus, and style. What emerges is a broad, deep, lively, and even witty picture of the Italian philosophical landscape in the voices of its protagonists.
Download or read book Europe and Empire written by Massimo Cacciari and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union and the single currency have given Europe more stability than it has known in the past thousand years, yet Europe seems to be in perpetual crisis about its global role. The many European empires are now reduced to a multiplicity of ethnicities, traditions, and civilizations. Europe will never be One, but to survive as a union it will have to become a federation of “islands” both distinct and connected. Though drawing on philosophers of Europe’s past, Cacciari calls not to resist Europe’s sunset but to embrace it. Europe will have to open up to the possibility that in few generations new exiles and an unpredictable cultural hybridism will again change all we know about the European legacy. Though scarcely alive in today’s politics, the political unity of Europe is still a necessity, however impossible it seems to achieve.

Download or read book The Jesuits written by Markus Friedrich and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since its founding by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, the Society of Jesus ("The Jesuits") has been intimately involved in the unfolding of the modern world. The young Jesuit order played a crucial role in the Counter Reformation, especially in Poland, southern Germany, and several other parts of Europe. The Jesuits were also participants in the establishment and spread of European empires, engaging in missionary activity in east and south Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries, and becoming central to the spreading of Christianity in the New World. At the same time, Jesuits often tangled with the Roman curia and the Pope, leading to the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. After the subsequent restoration of the order in 1814, the Jesuits continued to be leaders in Catholic education and theology. In 2013 Jorge Bergoglio became the first Jesuit Pope, taking the name Pope Francis I. In this book, Markus Friedrich presents the first comprehensive account of the Jesuits from a non-Catholic perspective. Drawing on his expertise as a historian of the early modern world, Friedrich situates the Jesuit order within the wider perspective of European history. In particular, he places the Jesuits in the context of social, cultural, and imperial history, showing that the Jesuits were not monolithic but rather were very sensitive to local context and that the order's core texts, especially Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises, were templates to engage with, rather than instructions manuals to be followed slavishly"--

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)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World is a collection of fourteen articles focusing on debates concerning the nature of “rites” raging in intellectual circles of Europe, Asia and America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The controversy started in Jesuit Asian missions where the method of accommodation, based on translation of Christianity into Asian cultural idioms, created a distinction between civic and religious customs. Civic customs were defined as those that could be included into Christianity and permitted to the new converts. However, there was no universal consensus among the various actors in these controversies as to how to establish criteria for distinguishing civility from religion. The controversy had not been resolved, but opened the way to radical religious scepticism.
