Liberi di pensare. Aporie della libertà
No full textLa theoria come spazio indispensabile per la vita politica dell’uomo: questa profonda intuizione, posta da Hannah Arendt a fondamento de La vita della mente, viene sviluppata, nel presente volume, indagando sulla peculiare libertà che Aristotele associa all’esercizio della filosofia. L’attività teoretica del pensiero implica infatti, nello Stagirita, una proairesis tou biou, una scelta di fondo, con la quale colui che pensa plasma la sua vita nel libero corrispondere alla propria natura di essere pensante. Se si investigano ulteriormente i fondamenti di questa forma aristotelica di libertà, si comprendono meglio le ragioni del legame essenziale tra volere, pensare e giudicare, che per Arendt costituiscono nel loro insieme la vita della mente, e si apprezza in tutto il suo spessore la forza ermeneutica dell’aristotelismo arendtiano. Si possono però allo stesso tempo valorizzare aspetti ancora attualissimi della concezione aristotelica anche al di là dei limiti che sembrano comunque dover restringere, nella riflessione arendtiana, il ruolo della teoria in conseguenza della centralità dell’azione. La scelta di assumere fino in fondo il pensare, ripresa nel contesto aristotelico del riferimento alla determinatezza di senso e dello stare al discorso e con altri, deve certamente affrontare un’intensificazione della dialettica paradossale e drammatica di necessità e libertà all’interno della vita umana, ma viene allo stesso tempo portata in un ambito capace di illuminare in modo insostituibile il nesso tra libertà e responsabilità che l’agire dell’uomo, e la sua vocazione politica, chiamano ineludibilmente in causa
Dasein e Humanitas. La critica heideggeriana all'umanesimo tra Cura dell'esistenza e custodia dell'ente
No full textThe critique of humanistic interpretations as a "person", as "being composed of spirit, soul and body", is aimed at claiming a level of discourse that “allows the event of the truth of being to happen” placing the 'humanitas on a higher level capable of restoring a new dignity to man. The invitation to overcome any anthropologism and subjectivism inaugurates a perspective for the contemporary world in which, by virtue of such decentralization, man is not master of other entities. Although many posthumanisms start from the critique of humanism, the very difference - albeit in the proximity - between the essence of action and that of the technique resolutely affirmed by Heidegger represents a barrier to that posthumanism which believes that man can and it must be redesigned by technology, which ultimately thinks that technology can produce ma
La proairesis aristotelica e l'idea di universale ermeneutico
No full textIl tema della proairesis è utilizzato come chiave d'accesso per comprendere il modo in cui ha luogo il peculiare rimando reciproco fra particolarità della scelta e universalità della regola che caratterizza l’agire morale in Aristotele
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
