Abstract

A rare scholarly attempt to focus on the last decade of Augustine's life, this volume highlights the themes and concerns that occupied the aged bishop of Hippo and led him to formulate some of his central notions in the most radical fashion. Augustine of Hippo's last decade from 420 to 430 witnessed the completion of some of his most infl uential works, from the City of God to the Unfi nished Work against Julian of Eclanum, from On the Trinity to the Literal Commentary on Genesis. During this period Augustine remained fully engaged as bishop and administrator, but also began to curate his legacy, revising his previous works and pushing many of his earlier ideas to novel and at times radical conclusions. Yet, this last period of Augustine's life has received only modest scholarly attention. With a cast of international scholars, the present volume opens a conversation and makes the case that the late (wild) Augustine deserves at least as much attention as the Augustine of the Confessions.

Abstract

Negli ultimi anni Searle ha prodotto una teoria che delinea le caratteristiche fondamentali della realtà sociale in cui viviamo e degli oggetti che ne fanno parte. Questo libro espone con chiarezza straordinaria le posizioni di Searle e permette di seguirne gli approfondimenti e le evoluzioni. Anche chi ha meno familiarità con gli sfondi culturali a cui Searle si richiama – specie i risultati della neurobiologia e l'analisi linguistica – non potrà non stupire per la ricchezza e per la capacità di rispettare la complessità dei problemi di cui il testo dà prova. Searle inscrive la coscienza e la libertà entro un "naturalismo biologico" che però per non essere riduzionistico contempla la possibilità che vi siiano livelli diversi di descrizione dello stesso ambito di realtà. Il linguaggio è il luogo privilegiato per mostrare la relazione tra ciò che sta entro la mia mente e oggetti circostanti. Tra gli atti linguistici, che mostrano ricchezza e varietà di modi di adattarsi alla realtà, quello che più interessa oggi Searle è quello che sta all'origine della società. Infatti oltre alla capacità di rappresentare il mondo o di modificarlo, il linguaggio possiede la singolare possibilità performativa di creare un adattamento attraverso la semplice rappresentazione dell'adattamento stesso come già avvenuto. Dichiarando che "la seduta è tolta" non si "causa" la chiusura della seduta stessa, ma la si rappresenta come già conclusa. Attraverso il linguaggio si possono così imporre a cose e persone funzioni che prima non avevano, si generano cioè funzioni di status, come quando si dichiara che qualcuno è presidente degli Stati Uniti e, da allora in poi, gli si riconosce una serie di poteri reali.

Abstract

Modern technology has eliminated barriers posed by geographic distances between people around the globe, making the world more interdependent. However, in spite of global collaboration within research domains, fragmentation among research fields persists and even escalates. Disintegrated knowledge has become subservient to the competition in the technological and economic race, leading in the direction chosen not by reason and intellect but rather by the preferences of politics and markets. To restore the authority of knowledge in guiding humanity, we have to reconnect its scattered isolated parts and offer an evolving and diverse but shared vision of objective reality connecting the sciences and other knowledge domains and informed by and in communication with ethical and esthetic thinking and being. This collection of articles responds to the second call from the journal Philosophies to build a new, networked world of knowledge with domain specialists from different disciplines interacting and connecting with the rest of the knowledge-producing and knowledge-consuming communities in an inclusive, extended natural-philosophic, human-centric manner. In this process of reconnection, scientific and philosophical investigations enrich each other, with sciences informing philosophies about the best current knowledge of the world, both natural and human-made, while philosophies scrutinize the ontological, epistemological, and methodological foundations of sciences.
