Abstract

Uno dei più autorevoli filosofi tedeschi contemporanei ricostruisce come un archeologo il senso complessivo dell'idealismo analizzandone i testi fondatori e il contesto culturale in cui si sono formati. Ma questa ricostruzione, pur minuziosa, non ha carattere filologico. L'idealismo mostra qui la sua attualità non esaurita, e riformula la questione dell'assoluto nel tempo della modernità, ossia nel tempo che ha nel soggetto un proprio motivo centrale. È proprio il nesso tra il soggetto e l'assoluto, la coappartenenza di finitezza e pensiero di Dio a caratterizzare la questione della metafisica così come essa si pone nella modernità. Il volume presenta quattro testi fondamentali di Henrich, dei quali uno (Autocoscienza e pensiero di Dio) del tutto inedito, e due per la prima volta tradotti in italiano: L'io di Fichte e Che cos'è metafisica - che cos'è modernità. Dodici tesi contro Jürgen Habermas. Esso si arricchisce inoltre del dibattito svoltosi intorno a questi saggi, un dibattito guidato dallo stesso Henrich, che viene così a commentare, fornendo ulteriori sviluppi, i propri testi. In un ampio capitolo introduttivo l'autore traccia la propria biografia intellettuale fornendo nuove chiavi di lettura della propria opera. Precede il volume un saggio di Ugo Perone, direttore della Scuola di Alta Formazione Filosofica ove Henrich ha tenuto le lezioni che stanno alla base del libro.

Abstract

Come in un racconto autobiografico dell'intero percorso intellettuale di Marion, da lui stesso abbozzato in dialogo con giovani studiosi italiani, entriamo qui in un libro non comune per la fecondità degli stimoli e per la chiarezza del discorso. Queste lezioni, interessate al confronto, sono una sintesi preziosa della filosofia dell'Autore. Marion ha formulato negli ultimi tempi un'analisi del fenomeno erotico che assume i tratti di un'ambiziosa filosofia dell'amore. Tale esito viene dalla critica della metafisica di Cartesio: «Assicurarmi da solo della mia certezza non mi rassicura affatto, ma mi espone allucinato davanti alla vanità in persona. A che pro io, se sono solo grazie a me?». L'assicurazione chiede molto di più di un'esistenza certa, essa richiede che in questa esistenza io mi consideri affrancato dal dubbio di inutilità: «... non si tratta più di ottenere la certezza dell'essere, ma la risposta a un'altra questione – ‘qualcuno mi ama?’». Da qui in avanti, Marion sviluppa un confronto serrato con la fenomenologia e con i suoi temi chiave del dono e della donazione. Il volume si apre con una Premessa del curatore Ugo Perone, direttore della Scuola di Alta Formazione Filosofica che ha sede a Torino.

Abstract

Based on Prof. Lüst's Masters course at the University of Munich, this book begins with a short introduction to general relativity. It then presents black hole solutions, and discusses Penrose diagrams, black hole thermodynamics and entropy, the Unruh effect, Hawking radiation, the black hole information problem, black holes in supergravity and string theory, the black hole microstate counting in string theory, asymptotic symmetries in general relativity, and a particular quantum model for black holes. The book offers an up-to-date summary of all the pertinent questions in this highly active field of physics, and is ideal reading for graduate students and young researchers.

Abstract

Regarding his discoveries, Sir Isaac Newton famously said, "If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." The Evolving Universe and the Origin of Life describes, complete with fascinating biographical details of the thinkers involved, a history of the universe as interpreted by the expanding body of knowledge of humankind. From subatomic particles to the protein chains that form life, and expanding in scale to the entire universe, this book covers the science that explains how we came to be. This book contains a great breadth of knowledge, from astronomy and physics to chemistry and biology. The second edition brings this story up to date, chronicling scientific achievements in recent years in such fields of research as cosmology, the large-scale architecture of the universe, black holes, exoplanets, and the search for extraterrestrial life. With over 250 figures, this is a non-technical, easy-to-read textbook at an introductory college level that is ideal for anyone interested in science as well as its history.

Abstract

This book argues that according to Metaphysics Zeta, substantial forms constitute substantial being in the sensible world, and individual composites make up the basic constituents that possess this kind of being. The study explains why Aristotle provides a reexamination of substance after the Categories, Physics, and De Anima, and highlights the contribution Z is meant to make to the science of being. Norman O. Dahl argues that Z.1-11 leaves both substantial forms and individual composites as candidates for basic constituents, with Z.12 being something that can be set aside. He explains that although the main focus of Z.13-16 is to argue against a Platonic view that takes universals to be basic constituents, some of its arguments commit Aristotle to individual composites as basic constituents, with Z.17’s taking substantial form to constitute substantial being is compatible with that commitment. .

Abstract

This book examines the ways in which decolonial theory has gained traction and influenced knowledge production, praxis and epistemic justice in various contemporary iterations of community psychology across the globe. With a notable Southern focus (although not exclusively so), the volume critically interrogates the biases in Western modernist thought in relation to community psychology, and to illuminate and consolidate current epistemic alternatives that contribute to the possibilities of emancipatory futures within community psychology. To this end, the volume includes contributions from community psychology theory and praxis across the globe that speak to standpoint approaches (e.g. critical race studies, queer theory, indigenous epistemologies) in which the experiences of the majority of the global population are more accurately reflected, address key social issues such as the on-going racialization of the globe, gender, class, poverty, xenophobia, sexuality, violence, diasporas, migrancy, environmental degradation, and transnationalism/globalisation, and embrace forms of knowledge production that involve the co-construction of new knowledges across the traditional binary of knowledge producers and consumers. This book is an engaging resource for scholars, researchers, practitioners, activists and advanced postgraduate students who are currently working within community psychology and cognate sub-disciplines within psychology more broadly. A secondary readership is those working in development studies, political science, community development and broader cognate disciplines within the social sciences, arts, and humanities

Abstract

In today's academe, the fields of science and literature are considered unconnected, one relying on raw data and fact, the other focusing on fiction. During the period between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, however, the two fields were not so distinct. Just as the natural philosophers of the era were discovering in and adopting from literature new strategies and techniques for their discourse, so too were poets and storytellers finding inspiration in natural philosophy, particularly in astronomy. A work that speaks to the history of science and literary studies, Fictions of the Cosmos explores the evolving relationship that ensued between fiction and astronomical authority. By examining writings of Kepler, Godwin, Hooke, Cyrano, Cavendish, Fontenelle, and others, Frédérique Aït-Touati shows that it was through the telling of stories-such as through accounts of celestial journeys-that the Copernican hypothesis, for example, found an ontological weight that its geometric models did not provide. Aït-Touati draws from both cosmological treatises and fictions of travel and knowledge, as well as personal correspondences, drawings, and instruments, to emphasize the multiple borrowings between scientific and literary discourses. This volume sheds new light on the practices of scientific invention, experimentation, and hypothesis formation by situating them according to their fictional or factual tendencies.
