Download or read book Il bambino filosofo e il quesito di Platone written by Jordi Nomen and published by Salani. This book was released on 2019-03-21T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La nuova educazione al pensiero nasce dalla curiosità Dobbiamo agire con la testa o con il cuore? Come si può raggiungere la gioia? È più importante avere o essere? Sono domande da grandi filosofi, ma le risposte, da oggi, sono un gioco da ragazzi!Esperimenti mentali, dilemmi etici e quesiti esistenziali approdano sempre di più nelle classi e nelle famiglie come strumenti educativi e la filosofia per bambini è un fenomeno in forte crescita. Ma si può chiedere a un bambino cosa c’è dopo la morte o cosa significa essere grandi? Certo che sì! Partendo dal presupposto che i più piccoli sono naturalmente curiosi, pronti a stupirsi e pieni di fantasia, tutte qualità necessarie per ragionare da veri filosofi. L’idea di fondo è quella di proporre immagini, racconti o domande per far nascere dibattiti e giochi che stimolino bambini e adolescenti al pensiero critico e autonomo, per aiutarli a comprendere un mondo sempre più complesso e trovare soluzioni creative ai problemi, liberarsi dagli stereotipi e coltivare l’empatia.Ricco di spunti di dialogo e attività basati sui temi trattati dai grandi pensatori, Il bambino filosofo e il quesito di Platone è una guida fondamentale per genitori e insegnanti che vogliono educare alla filosofia. Per stare bene con se stessi e con gli altri bisogna saper dare risposte armoniose ai quesiti piccoli e grandi che riempiono la nostra vita, ecco perché non è mai troppo presto per imparare a pensare con la propria testa!

Download or read book Platone written by Annalisa Ambrosio and published by Bompiani. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristocle nasce dall’unione di due delle più antiche famiglie di Atene. Cresce ascoltando storie, miti e musica. Possiede più di cento oggetti, che in un mondo vuoto, contrapposto al troppo pieno del nostro, sono moltissimi. Dicono di lui che da bambino era così beneducato che nessuno gli aveva mai visto i denti, perché sorrideva poco e rideva meno. Il primo vero dolore lo prova a ventotto anni, il giorno della morte di Socrate. La filosofia è già nata, ma Socrate non è un filosofo: gira scalzo, seguito da una schiera di ragazzini incuriositi dai suoi discorsi; è capace di cambiare per sempre quelli che lo ascoltano. Aristocle è uno di loro. Parte e procede così, cercando di avvicinare le vite lontane dei grandi alle nostre piccole vite vicine, questa breve storia di Platone, scritta da un’autrice molto giovane a uso dei giovani come lei ma anche di chi Platone l’ha incontrato a scuola e poi dimenticato.Oggi che il rischio non è morire per un’idea ma la mancanza di idee in cui credere, guardarsi indietro è fondamentale.

Book Socrates  or on Human Knowledge

Download or read book Socrates or on Human Knowledge written by Simone Luzzatto and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socrates, Or On Human Knowledge, published in Venice in 1651, is the only work written by a Jew that contains so far the promise of a genuinely sceptical investigation into the validity of human certainties. Simone Luzzatto masterly developed this book as a pièce of theatre where Socrates, as main actor, has the task to demonstrate the limits and weaknesses of the human capacity to acquire knowledge without being guided by revelation. He achieved this goal by offering an overview of the various and contradictory gnosiological opinions disseminated since ancient times: the divergence of views, to which he addressed the most attention, prevented him from giving a fixed definition of the nature of the cognitive process. This obliged him to come to the audacious conclusion of neither affirming nor denying anything concerning human knowledge, and finally of suspending his judgement altogether. This work unfortunately had little success in Luzzatto’s lifetime, and was subsequently almost forgotten. The absence of substantial evidence from his contemporaries and that of his epistolary have thus increased the difficulty of tracing not only its legacy in the history of philosophical though, but also of understanding the circumstances surrounding the writing of his Socrates. The present edition will be a preliminary study aiming to shed some light on the philosophical and historical value of this work’s translation, indeed it will provide a broader readership with the opportunity to access this immensely complicated work and also to grasp some aspects of the composite intellectual framework and admirable modernity of Venetian Jewish culture in the ghetto.

Book Evil

    Book Details:
  • Author : Paul Ricoeur
  • Publisher : Continuum
  • Release : 2007-06-21
  • ISBN : 9780826494764
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Evil written by Paul Ricoeur and published by Continuum. This book was released on 2007-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does evil come from? How is it that we do evil? This book falls into three parts. The fi rst part deals with the magnitude and complexity of the problem of evil from a phenomenological perspective. The second part investigates the levels of speculation on the origin and nature of evil. The third discusses thinking, acting and feeling in connection with evil. The discussion runs in the classic intellectual tradition from Augustine, through Hegel, Leibnitz, Kant, and Nietzsche. But the voice is always that of Paul Ricoeur himself, though he also refers to modern writers like Harold Kushner (When Bad Things Happen to Good People) and John K. Roth (Encountering Evil). Ricoeur considers here man's vulnerability to evil with depth and matchless sensitivity.

Book Ethics and Politics of Translating

Download or read book Ethics and Politics of Translating written by Henri Meschonnic and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if meaning were the last thing that mattered in language? In this essay, Henri Meschonnic explains what it means to translate the sense of language and how to do it. In a radical stand against a hermeneutical approach based on the dualistic view of the linguistic sign and against its separation into a meaningful signified and a meaningless signifier, Henri Meschonnic argues for a poetics of translating. Because texts generate meaning through their power of expression, to translate ethically involves listening to the various rhythms that characterize them: prosodic, consonantal or vocalic patterns, syntactical structures, sentence length and punctuation, among other discursive means. However, as the book illustrates, such an endeavour goes against the grain and, more precisely, against a 2500-year-old tradition in the case of biblical translation. The inability of translators to give ear to rhythm in language results from a culturally transmitted deafness. Henri Meschonnic decries the generalized unwillingness to remedy this cultural condition and discusses the political implications for the subject of discourse.

Book Loss and the Other in the Visionary Work of Anna Maria Ortese

Download or read book Loss and the Other in the Visionary Work of Anna Maria Ortese written by Vilma De Gasperin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the vre of Anna Maria Ortese (1914-1998) from her first literary writings in the Thirties to her great novels in the Nineties. The analysis focusses on two interweaving core themes, loss and the Other. It begins with the shaping of personal loss of an Other following death, separation, abandonment, coupled with melancholy for life's transience as depicted in autobiographical works and in her masterpiece Il porto di Toledo. The book then addresses Ortese's literary engagement with social themes in realist stories set in post-war Naples in her collection Il mare non bagna Napoli and then explores her continuing preoccupation with socio-ethical issues, imbued with autobiographical elements, in non-realist texts, including her masterful novels L'Iguana, Il cardillo addolorato and Alonso e i visionari The book combines theme and genre analysis, highlighting Ortese's adoption and hybridization of diverse literary forms such as poetry, the novel, the short story, the essay, autobiography, realism, fairy tales, fantasy, allegory. In her work Ortese weaves an ongoing dialogue with literary and non-literary works, through direct quotations, allusions, echoes, adoption of motifs and topoi. The book thus highlights the intertextual relationship with her sources: Leopardi, Dante, Petrarch, Manzoni, Collodi, Montale, Serao; Shakespeare, Milton, Keats, Blake, Joyce, Conrad, Melville, Poe, Hawthorne, Hardy; Manrique, Gongora, de Quevedo, Villalón, Bello, Cantar del mio Cid; Heine, Valery, Puccini's Madam Butterfly, folklore, popular songs, and the Bible. Ortese thus shapes her literary themes in the background of social, political and economic upheavals over six decades of Italian history, culminating in an allegorical critique of modernity and a call for a renewed bond between humans and the Other.

Book The Phantom of the Ego

Download or read book The Phantom of the Ego written by Nidesh Lawtoo and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Phantom of the Ego is the first comparative study that shows how the modernist account of the unconscious anticipates contemporary discoveries about the importance of mimesis in the formation of subjectivity. Rather than beginning with Sigmund Freud as the father of modernism, Nidesh Lawtoo starts with Friedrich Nietzsche’s antimetaphysical diagnostic of the ego, his realization that mimetic reflexes—from sympathy to hypnosis, to contagion, to crowd behavior—move the soul, and his insistence that psychology informs philosophical reflection. Through a transdisciplinary, comparative reading of landmark modernist authors like Nietzsche, Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, and Georges Bataille, Lawtoo shows that, before being a timely empirical discovery, the “mimetic unconscious” emerged from an untimely current in literary and philosophical modernism. This book traces the psychological, ethical, political, and cultural implications of the realization that the modern ego is born out of the spirit of imitation; it is thus, strictly speaking, not an ego, but what Nietzsche calls, “a phantom of the ego.” The Phantom of the Ego opens up a Nietzschean back door to the unconscious that has mimesis rather than dreams as its via regia, and argues that the modernist account of the “mimetic unconscious” makes our understanding of the psyche new.

Book The Cambridge Companion to August Wilson

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to August Wilson written by Christopher Bigsby and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's most powerful and original dramatists, August Wilson offered an alternative history of the twentieth century, as seen from the perspective of black Americans. He celebrated the lives of those seemingly pushed to the margins of national life, but who were simultaneously protagonists of their own drama and evidence of a vital and compelling community. Decade by decade, he told the story of a people with a distinctive history who forged their own future, aware of their roots in another time and place, but doing something more than just survive. Wilson deliberately addressed black America, but in doing so discovered an international audience. Alongside chapters addressing Wilson's life and career, and the wider context of his plays, this Companion dedicates individual chapters to each play in his ten-play cycle, which are ordered chronologically, demonstrating Wilson's notion of an unfolding history of the twentieth century.
