L’improvvisazione tra metodo e atteggiamento: Potenzialità didattiche per l’educazione di oggi e di domani
Get PDFThis essay wants to reflect upon the concept and practice of improvisation, showing how improvisation could be an educational possible perspective to allow to schools and teachers to fulfill educational requests of contemporary society. Starting from theoretical and social considerations, the essay faces what means to improvise in teaching, when it is possible for a teacher to improvise while he/she is teaching, and why this practice could be generative for an authentic human development
Un felice connubio di razionalità e libertà: la pratica “riflessiva” della “Philosophy for Children” (P4C) di Matthew Lipman
Get PDFIn this article I focus on the notion of “reflective thinking” and on its theoretical and practical relevance. What I endeavour to achieve is that those dialogic practices employing “reflective thinking” succeed in showing that rationality (or system) and improvisation (or freedom) are mutually and inseparably intertwined. The case study of the “Philosophy for Children” (P4C) curriculum developed at the beginning of the 1970s by Matthew Lipman and other researchers provides evidence in order to achieve such result.
 
Sovversione come improvvisazione politica? La pratica dell’illegalità nel movimento antiautoritario a Berlino Ovest alla fine degli anni sessanta
Get PDFThis paper aims at questioning what an improvisation in politics may mean. It analyzes specifically the reasons why some German activists as Rudi Dutschke and Bernd Rabehl saw the beginning of the Anti-autoritarian Movement in the manifestation against Tschombe of the 18th December 1964; and how they wanted to adopt Mao’s, Fanon’s and Che Guevara’s teachings in their struggle. Its goal is to understand this manifestation as a political improvisation insofar it created the style of Anti-Autoritarian movement of the sixties in West-Berlin. 
Introduction to the Myth
Get PDFThe mythical word can be applied to the origin of the world as well as to its changings. But, beyond its transformations, the mythological narrative and its figures offer an access key to those meanings that reason can’t grasp or constrain into defined or definitive forms
Norm and Freedom: Paul Ricoeur\u27s Ethical Challenge
Get PDFThis paper deals with the relation between freedom and norm in the practical philosophy of Paul Ricoeur, taking into account especially the “Little Ethics” that covers Studies VII, VIII, IX of Oneself as Another. Although Ricoeur states the priority of ethics over moral, playing the quest for good and happiness off against deontological morality of duty, it soon appears clear that the norm is necessarily implied by the development of ethics itself. No actual freedom can exist without norm; but, on the other and, no normative system is absolute, because the quest for good, in which freedom consists, cannot be fulfilled by any norm. This is the reason why it is always possible, and in some cases necessary, to act not following the established rules, but by improvisational conducts that can answer to the needs of the given situations. Aim of the article is to show the relevance of creativity for Ricoeur’s theory of action, but also to highlight the fact that creativity is not grounded on itself, but is linked to an infinite ethical ambition that give sense to improvisation
Il doppio legame dell’interpretazione: conservazione e innovazione della tradizione
Get PDFThe crisis of hermeneutical philosophy is an important opportunity for a reflection on the adaptive forms of rationality. The present essay aims at clarifying two issues of adaptiveness in a hermeneutical perspective: the overturning of the traditional relationships between theoria and praxis; and the place of the rule-violation in this pragmatical view of rationality. Metaphor is the most significant example of this adaptiveness
Razionalità dell’improvvisazione / Improvvisazione della razionalità
Get PDFThe first part of the essay, Rationality of Improvisation, is developed through two complementary directions. On the one hand it traces the plot through which a specific determination of Western rationality has marked the art music tradition of modernity. On the other hand, it identifies a specific alternative cognitive modality, defined audiotactile, which is inherent to the formative creative practices in real time, showing how its constitutive incompatibility with the structural epistemic logic of Western rationality has led to the modern eclipse of the ex tempore creativity, and to its resurgence today. In the second part, Improvisation of Rationality, are discussed in a pragmatic perspective such aesthetic issues as improvisational freedom, the situational and stylistic conditioning and their relationship with the authenticity and with the aesthetic truth, and whether it is possible to identify prospects for a normativity in improvisation
L’etica dell’improvvisazione come pratica filosofica. Gli esercizi spirituali da Pierre Hadot a George Lewis
Get PDFMoving from an analysis of the techniques of the self in the capitalist neo-liberalism, the paper will show a possibility of resistance in retreat: Foucault and Hadot show how the turn to ancient philosophy constitutes a way to build historical ontology of ourselves and aesthetic of the existence. The necessary search for new spiritual exercises will lead to examining jazz improvisation
