Heroism and Wisdom, Italian Style
Author: Raymond Angelo Belliotti
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1683933583
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
This is an interdisciplinary work that philosophically analyzes concepts such as heroism; practical wisdom; honor; Nietzsche’s notions of will to power, the overman, and the three metamorphoses; Plato’s understanding of love; creating meaning in life; the issue of morally dirty hands in political administration; the relationship between political means and ends; the proper role of positive duties in society; the aspirations of grand strivers; and the linkages between biological, biographical, and autobiographical lives, all in the context of explaining and evaluating the lives and works of fourteen historically significant Italian: Gaius Julius Caesar, Brunetto Latini, Dante Alighieri, Caterina Sforza, Niccolò Machiavelli, Giuseppe Mazzini, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Francesca Cabrini, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Antonio Gramsci, Salvatore Giuliano, Oriana Fallaci, Giovanni Falcone, and Paolo Borsellino. By dissecting the lives and philosophies of the figures discussed in this work, by extracting moral, political, and existential lessons from their aspirations and enterprises, by reflecting on their ideals from the vantage point of our divergent social context, by evaluating their virtues and vices from a wider perspective, and by confronting the conceptual puzzles and social impediments hampering the exercise of practical wisdom and heroism, we may confront the people that we are and reimagine the people we might become.

Jud Userle, a poor potato farmers son from northern Maine, became the hapless victim of a war in which he never really participated.

His eventual return to the United States lead only to greater confusion, accusations, and extreme medical intervention.

But, with this also came the question.Why did all this happen in the first place? There had to be some plot behind it all; and it became the focus of his next few months to uncover just what it was.or who it was.that had chosen to make his life hell. Luckily, this time, he would not be alone in that search. But, even those who allied with him, were an unusual assortment, from differing arenas of public affaires.
