Il tema della sofferenza nel pensiero e nell'opera di David Maria Turoldo
No full textIl testo si concentra sull'ultimissima stagione della vita e della produzione poetica di David Maria Turoldo, quella caratterizzata da una malattia che il poeta friulano ha voluto rendere pubblica, offrendo una preziosa testimonianza di morte cristiana, che rimane, ancora oggi, uno dei suoi lasciti più preziosi. In quest'ottica viene messo a fuoco il tema della crisi esistenziale innescata dalla malattia e del valore catartico che la parola poetica può assumere, se coniugata con la virtù della speranza.Infine la riflessione si sofferma sulla grande domanda che ha sempre tormentato i credenti: "Si Deus est, unde malum?". Il Dio di Turoldo, però, non è il Dio della teodicea, ovvero un Dio che spiega la sofferenza, ma un Dio che la condivide, soffrendo con e per l'uomo, sino ad essere anche lui infelice

Multiculturalismo e autonomia relazionale
No full textIl tema dell'autonomia ha assunto un ruolo centrale nella riflessione filosofica moderna. Più recentemente ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale nella nascita delle etiche applicate e più in particolare della bioetica. Il problema, tuttavia, è quello di comprendere a quale tipo di autonomia facciamo riferimento. L'idea di un'autonomia ritagliata su misura di un individuo adulto, autosufficiente, appartenente ad una determinata cultura, ecc., può ancora funzionare di fronte alle sfide che pone oggi una società ormai multiculturale? Non è piuttosto l'idea di una autonomia sempre in formazione, bisognosa della relazione con altri, ad essere non solo più aderente alla realtà, ma anche concettualmente più adatta a cogliere le nuove sfide della contemporaneità
Lo stile ermeneutico di Paul Ricoeur: spiegare di più per comprendere meglio
No full textIn this essay the Author retraces the central themes of Ricoeurian hermeneutics. As heir to the philosophical tradition inaugurated by Heidegger and Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur follows the same line of the two undisputed masters of twentieth century hermeneutics, but gives his own very personal reading. By trying to overcome the dichotomy placed by Gadamer between truth and method, Ricoeur shows the complementarity between explanation (erklären), typical of the sciences, and understanding (verstehen), practiced by the humanistic disciplines. Explanation and comprehension are, in fact, two sides of the same hermeneutical arc, that arc which is stretched every time a reader is placed before a text and is called upon and questioned by it

Turoldo David Maria
No full textSacerdote e poeta, David Maria Turoldo si formò filosoficamente all’Università Cattolica di Milano con G. Bontadini. Già nella sua tesi di laurea, rimasta inedita, Turoldo sostiene che il divenire, entro cui si colloca il nostro ex-sistere, risulta inconciliabile con l’essere: infatti diviene e non è mai. Dal divenire non si passa, dunque, all’essere, a meno di una Rivelazione grazie alla quale l’Essere stesso scende per unirsi a noi – e noi a Lui e al Bene che è la Verità. Ciò porta a una sorta di progressivo “andare al di là”: la filosofia rimanda alla religione che, a sua volta, rinvia a un “atto di fede”, una “fede albare”, di cui il simbolo è Giobbe ed è in grado di liberare la religione da ideologie, fideismi e fanatismi. In questo contesto, alla religione e all’atto di fede si affianca la poesia che, come tutta l’arte, è «immagine del mondo quale immagine dell’Essere». «La vera, la grande poesia, finisce così sempre in preghiera», afferma Turoldo.
Parole chiave: David Maria Turoldo, Essere e divenire, atto di fede, andare al di là, poesia e preghiera
Priest and poet, David Maria Turoldo was philosophically educated at the Catholic University of Milan with G. Bontadini. Even in his unpublished thesis, Turoldo argues that becoming, within which our ex-sistence is placed, is irreconcilable with being: in fact, it becomes and never is. Therefore, one does not pass from becoming to being, unless through a Revelation by which Being itself descends to unite with us – and we with Him and the Good that is Truth. This leads to a sort of progressive “going beyond’: philosophy refers to religion, which in turn points to an “act of faith”, a “down faith”, of which the symbol is Job and which is capable of freeing religion from ideologies, fideisms, and fanaticisms. In this context, poetry, alongside religion and the act of faith, is, like all art, “an image of the world as an image of Being.” “True, great poetry always ends in prayer,” Turoldo states.
Keywords: David Maria Turoldo, Being and becoming, act of faith, going beyond, poetry and prayer
Aiding and Abetting Suicide: The Current Debate in Italy
No full textThe article analyzes the recent ruling of the Italian Consitutional Court amending article 580 of the Italian Criminal Code, relating to aid and incitement to suicide. According to the first Assize Court of Milan, article 580, conceived in 1930, reflects the fascist culture of its author. The problem of the Constitutional Court was therefore to establish whether a democratic state can still place limits on aid for suicide and in what terms it can do so.The article analyzes the recent ruling of the Italian Constitutional Court amending article 580 of the Italian Criminal Code, relating to aid and incitement to suicide.

The Cannibal's Gaze. A Reflection on the Ethics of Care Starting from Salvador Dalí's Oeuvre
No full textAbstract: Starting from two paintings by Salvador Dalì (The Enigma of William Tell and
Autumnal Cannibalism), the article explores Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung’s idea of
erotic cannibalism. The fear of being eaten is an archetype of the collective unconscious, as
fairy tales clearly reveal. Following Jacques Derrida’s reflections, the author suggests that the
fear of being eaten is not limited to anthropophagic cultures, because there is a sort of
symbolic cannibalism which has to do with the capacity for annihilation. The petrifying gaze
of Medusa, described by Jean Paul Sartre, is a good example of this symbolic cannibalism. On
the opposite side of the spectrum, compared to the petrifying gaze, we find the recognizing
look of a mother toward her child. For the child, the mother embodies the good subject, which
is reassuring and nonthreatening (the fairy who stands in contrast to the devouring ogre in
fairy tales). Sara Ruddick explicitly refers to this motherhood model in her book Maternal
Thinking, where she lays out the methodology for the ethics of care. The maternal, or
recognizing gaze, as the opposite of Medusa’s gaze portrayed by Sartre, is well described
in a compelling text by the Italian novelist Luigi Pirandello. At the same time, it plays an
important role in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s The Phenomenology of the Spirit. Finally, the
article returns to Salvador Dalì, showing how in his life, the artist experienced the Other’s
gaze in both forms: the objectifying one, represented by the artist’s father (portrayed in The
Enigma of William Tell), and the recognizing one, embodied by his partner Gala (portrayed in
Autumnal Cannibalism).Starting from two paintings by Salvador Dalì (The Enigma of William Tell and Autumnal Cannibalism), the article explores Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung's idea of erotic cannibalism.

Ethics of Responsibility in a Multicultural Context
No full textCan an ethics of responsibility offer a sound model for bioethics within the current multicultural context? In order to answer this question, the following article starts from the analysis of a series of practical cases taken from clinical experience. In these cases, the multicultural challenge is presented in different forms which therefore require differentiated approaches and answers. Only after having presented such case histories the article proposes a theoretical model based on the idea of a double-faced concept of responsibility, trying to understand how much it can deal with multicultural challenges
