Lo strano caso del vivente uomo: la narrazione biologica tra nuovi miti e antiche nostalgie
No full textil saggio analizza il passaggio dalla tradizionale narrazione di matrice umanistica, che intende l'umano come prodotto inedito e trascendente le leggi della natura, alla biologia contemporanea che, ricollocandolo orizzontalmente all'interno del mondo naturale, va producendo su di esso una narrazione inedita ma non per questo meno interessant
You must give the devil his due. La lettura plessneriana delle secolarizzazione
No full textHelmuth Plessner's text “Die verspätete Nation” has become a classic on the German Sonderweg that led to Nazism. More broadly, it is a reflection on the effects of secularization on the interweaving of politics, religion and philosophy in modern Germany. The article follows this intertwining and then offers an interpretation of Plessnerian 'nocturnal humanism': the vindication of a fundamental European tradition that treasures the philosophical radicalism of German philosophy from Kant to Marx. Humanism thus appears to be the attitude of one who embraces the values of democratic liberalism with a deep awareness of its nihilistic potential. A strategy to rule the devil that secular modernity spreads on earth
Acheronta movebo. Freud e l’Europa tra nevrosi e cura
No full textSigmund Freud plays a key role in the cultural framework of the “crisis of Europe”, with his mobilisation of the unconscious («Acheronta movebo» is the motto of Die Traumdeutung). The father of psychoanalysis, who died in 1939 as an emigrant in London, was an observer of the pathologies of the individual, but also of the disease of his time (Das Unbehagen in der Kultur, 1930). Freud, a European thinker, is the emblem of a peculiar historical-philosophical constellation, but also the symbol of a possible treatment for Europe. Proof of this can be found in the analyses of great interpreters such as Thomas Mann, Stefan Zweig and Ernesto de Martino
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A proposito di un presupposto umano (troppo umano) del postumanismo: il paradigma prestazione
No full textQueste pagine muovono dalla persuasione dell’esistenza di un inespresso presupposto ideologico (il paradigma prestazione) quale denominatore comune della galassia postumana.
Espressa in una formula, la tesi di queste pagine suona: una volta sfrondato dei suoi orpelli più sgargianti, il post-umanismo (l’intera galassia postumana) si rivela coincidente con un progetto di de-umanizzazione, che a sua volta emerge come il paradossale e tuttavia coerente esito di un iper-umanismo totalizzato
