Nicholas of Cusa and the Aristotelian Tradition
Author: Emmanuele VimercatiPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110630060
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The volume focuses on the relation between Cusanus and Aristotle or the Aristotelian tradition. In recent years the attention on this topic has partially increased, but overall the scholarship results are still partial or provisional. The book thus aims at verifying more systematically how Aristotle and Aristotelianism have been received by Cusanus, in both their philosophical and theological implications, and how he approached the Aristotelian thought. In order to answer these questions, the papers are structured according to the traditional Aristotelian sciences and their reflection on Cusanus' thought. This allows to achieve some aspects of interest and originality: 1) the book provides a general, but systematic analysis of Aristotle's reception in Cusanus' thought, with some coherent results. 2) Also, it explores how a philosopher and theologian traditionally regarded as Neoplatonist approached Aristotle and his tradition (including Thomas Aquinas), what he accepted of it, what he rejected, and what he tried to overcome. 3) Finally, the volume verifies the attitude of a relevant Christian philosopher and theologian of the Humanistic age towards Aristotle.

The Legitimacy of the Modern Age
Author: Hans BlumenbergPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262521055
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 718
Book Description
In this major work, Blumenberg takes issue with Karl Löwith's well-known thesis that the idea of progress is a secularized version of Christian eschatology, which promises a dramatic intervention that will consummate the history of the world from outside. Instead, Blumenberg argues, the idea of progress always implies a process at work within history, operating through an internal logic that ultimately expresses human choices and is legitimized by human self-assertion, by man's responsibility for his own fate.
Martin Heidegger and the Truth About the Black Notebooks
Author: Friedrich-Wilhelm von HerrmannPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030694968
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Toward the beginning of 2013, I received reports of passages in the Black Notebooks that offered observations on Jewry, or as the case may be, world Jewry. It immediately became clear to me that the publication of the Black Notebooks would call forth a wide-spread international debate. Already in the Spring of 2013, I had asked Professor Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann, last private assistant – and in the words of my grandfather, the “chief co-worker of the complete edition”, – if he might review the Notebooks as a whole, based on his profound insight into the thought of Martin Heidegger, and in particular, review those Jewish-related passages that were the focus of the public eye. Publications about the Black Notebooks quickly came to propagate catchy expressions such as “being-historical anti-Semitism” and “metaphysical anti-Semitism”. The first question that obviously arises is: Does the thought of Martin Heidegger exhibit any kind of anti-Semitism at all? In this book Professor von Herrmann now advances his hermeneutic explication. With Professor Francesco Alfieri of the Pontificia Università Lateranense he has found a colleague who has drawn up a comprehensive philological analysis of volumes GA 94 through GA 97 of the Complete Edition. The fact that Heidegger designated the hitherto published “black notebooks” as Ponderings (Überlegungen) and as Observations (Anmerkungen) has been given little consideration. He intentionally placed them at the conclusion of the Complete Edition because without acquaintance with the lectures, and above all, with the being-historical treatises that would come to be published in the framework of the Complete Edition, they would not be comprehensible. (Arnulf Heidegger)
Guerra economica e intelligence

ISBN: 8897363709

Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Nell’era della globalizzazione totale è sempre più importante comprendere come le forze economiche di un Paese si organizzino per fare dell’informazione uno strumento di sviluppo economico e di difesa dei suoi interessi vitali, tanto più che la crisi in cui siamo entrati rischia di accrescere, ancora di più, la lotta per l’accesso ai mercati mondiali. Lo scontro a livello economico si è radicato con forza soprattutto dopo la conclusione della Guerra Fredda e si presenta come un conflitto in crescita, nel quale non solo gli attori coinvolti sono spesso tra loro interdipendenti, ma agiscono all’interno di una rete globale che non ha dei riferimenti geografici o giuridici precisi e unici, complicando ancora di più la lettura del quadro d’insieme. Per annientare il proprio nemico nella guerra economica qualunque mezzo è lecito – dalle misure protezionistiche fino allo spionaggio o alle attività di lobbying – e non vi sono strutture che determinino limiti o stabiliscano un ordine. In particolare, con l’enorme diffusione dei mezzi di comunicazione, la guerra economica si è avvalsa sempre più di un suo strumento efficace: la guerra dell’informazione. Gli attori coinvolti, siano essi Stati o imprese, usano questo strumento per aumentare il proprio raggio d’azione a livello planetario (basti pensare alla possibilità di comunicare in tempo reale da una parte all’altra del mondo), ma anche come mezzo marcatamente offensivo (manipolando a proprio vantaggio, per esempio, le informazioni destinate ai consumatori).
Dante the Lyric and Ethical Poet
Author: Zygmunt G. Bara'nskiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351194496
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
"This book presents the proceedings of the fifth meeting of the International Dante Seminar. As with previous volumes, the proceedings also include a carefully edited account of the extensive discussions which followed the presentations. The papers, given by some of the leading international scholars of the poet - from Italy, the UK and the USA - address four major topics of particular concern to present-day Dante studies: Dante as a lyric poet; Dante as an ethical poet; Dante and the Eclogues; and Dante in nineteenth-century Britain. These topics reflect both areas which are currently the subject of heated critical debate (several editions of the lyric poems are in preparation, and the ethical dimension of Dantes works is very much under discussion) and areas which are long overdue a reassessment (Dantes remarkable revival of Latin pastoral poetry, and the extraordinary British contribution to Dante studies in the nineteenth century). As this set of conference proceedings makes clear, in Dante and in his legacy, ethics and poetry are inseparable. The contributors include Paola Allegretti, Michael Caesar, Paolo Falzone, Manuele Gragnolati, Claudio Giunta, Claire Honess, Robin Kirkpatrick, John Lindon, Lino Pertile, Justin Steinberg, Claudia Villa, and Diego Zancani."
