Book excerpt: Nel 1851 escono i Parerga e paralipomena e Arthur Schopenhauer, all'età di 63 anni, dopo essere scampato all'epidemia di colera che uccise il suo "grande nemico" Hegel, riceve finalmente il successo che merita. Questo piccolo grande libro e uno dei tanti tesori contenuti nell'opera che lo rese famoso. Un libro di saggezza, che smaschera i nostri vizi più comuni: il lusso, l'ostentazione, la mondanità, il conformismo, la moda, e ci invita a coltivare la nostra personalità, la nostra formazione interiore come il bene principale dell'esistenza. Grande osservatore delle umane manie e avvincente narratore delle comuni vanità, Schopenhauer ci regala anche una brillante collezione di consigli e massime per cercare in noi stessi la fonte più autentica della felicità (Aonia edizioni).

Download or read book Rivista di Estetica 85 written by AA.VV. and published by Rosenberg & Sellier. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of the 'philosophy of the city' includes articles by scholars on a range of human sciences, from media theory to aesthetics and architectural theory. Philosophy, social ontology, cultural anthropology, aesthetics, digital hermeneutics, media theory, cognitive science: these are just some of the disciplines that contribute to the philosophy of the city. This variety of approaches doesn't necessarily result in a chaotic mix. Many of the included forms of discourse belong to the same episteme, which means there are many connections and overlaps. This is true both in the literatures of reference and in the ways of answering the question of what 'the city' is. Secondly, the texts don't focus on the city itself, but on those who live in, design, imagine and think about it. Thirdly, because these texts create a place where different ideas can live together. This is like a city, where ideas change, are built on and then rebuilt. This is what Wittgenstein wrote about in his Philosophical Investigations.

Download or read book Diamanti written by Enrico Quarto and published by OMBand D.E.. This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il delitto aveva occupato un trafiletto nei giornali cittadini, e nessuno si era presentato a chiedere ragguagli sul progredire delle indagini. “Giovane ucciso durante una rapina” era una di quelle notizie così frequenti, che la gente quasi non ci faceva caso. I giornalisti vi dedicavano le solite cinque righe come studenti svogliati che presentano sempre lo stesso compito a un professore che non ha l’abitudine di correggerli. Adesso però era saltato fuori un diamante, un diamante da un milione di dollari, e i professionisti dell’informazione erano accorsi in massa. Con un milione di dollari addosso anche la morte sembra un’altra. La tranquillità di una cittadina del Middle-West americano è turbata dal ritrovamento di alcuni eccezionali diamanti e da un misterioso delitto. Ha inizio in questo modo una storia destinata a evolversi in maniera imprevedibile. Sulla parodia del genere catastrofista, l’autore costruisce un esempio perfettamente riuscito di romanzo distopico, offrendoci una desolata riflessione sulla società contemporanea. Insieme a Il sogno del prete e Le maschere, Diamanti compone la trilogia Le favole, tre romanzi del tutto autonomi ma accomunati dalla medesima ispirazione e dall’impianto visionario.
Download or read book Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome written by Jill Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late fifteenth to the late seventeenth century, Rome was one of the most vibrant and productive centres for the visual arts in the West. Artists from all over Europe came to the city to see its classical remains and its celebrated contemporary art works, as well as for the opportunity to work for its many wealthy patrons. They contributed to the eclecticism of the Roman artistic scene, and to the diffusion of 'Roman' artistic styles in Europe and beyond. Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome is the first book-length study to consider identity creation and artistic development in Rome during this period. Drawing together an international cast of key scholars in the field of Renaissance studies, the book adroitly demonstrates how the exceptional quality of Roman court and urban culture - with its elected 'monarchy', its large foreign population, and unique sense of civic identity - interacted with developments in the visual arts. With its distinctive chronological span and uniquely interdisciplinary approach, Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome puts forward an alternative history of the visual arts in early modern Rome, one that questions traditional periodisation and stylistic categorisation.
