Dalla letteratura alla filosofia. Il Proust di Deleuze
Full text linkThe present paper traces some of the main articulations of the book Marcel Proust and the signs (1964), in which the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze affirms the superiority of literature on classical rationalist philosophy in the search for truth. Proust's work rivals the philosophy itself, since it brings into play the involuntary nature of memory and intelligence – a condition which lies at the beginning of every thought - which can grasp the truth only solicited and forced by chance encounters. Classical rationalist philosophy as a methodical exercise, induced by the good will of the thinker, can instead reach only abstract and conventional truths. The paper underlines how, according to Deleuze, Proust’s work will represent the model of authentic philosophy, the one that comes to produce with violence new concepts forced by problems and urgencies that impose themselves from outside. In fact, in Difference and Repetition (1968), the characteristics ascribed to the Proustian Recherche are explicitly attributed to a philosophy of Difference, which is posited by the author as the real need of his own time. In 1991, Deleuze and Félix Guattari posed the question: What is philosophy? The attributes previously assigned to the literature, reappeared in the answer to such a question. A paradoxical necessity - reached through contingent encounters on one side, and the involuntary nature of thought on the other side - will appear at the center of the book that closes the theoretical trajectory of Deleuze: such a paradox shows itself as the only condition for the “invention of concepts”, which is at the same time the definition and ultimate task of philosophical practice

Politicization and security policy: Parties, voters and the European Common Security and Defense Policy
No full textThe Common Security and Defense Policy of the European Union has recently come to the forefront as a potential force of integration. This study explores the consequences (if any) of such a move, investigating how likely it is for Common Security and Defense Policy to be politicized and become a new area of dissent. The article explores conditions of politicization at three different levels of analysis: (a) the systemic level, where Common Security and Defense Policy position in a bi-dimensional political space (left–right and anti-pro EU) is discussed; (b) the party level, where potentially successful issue entrepreneurs of Common Security and Defense Policy are identified; (c) the individual voter level, where the probabilities of being mobilized by issue entrepreneurs of Common Security and Defense Policy are assessed. Our analysis suggests that although Common Security and Defense Policy is prone to be politicized and right-wing parties are the most likely group to do so, this move may backfire as right-wing voters are less likely to be mobilized on Common Security and Defense Policy compared to their left-wing counterpart. We discuss the implications of these results for the conceptualization of politicization and European integration
Meditazione e dolore.
No full textNegli ultimi 30 anni una ricerca considerevole ha esaminato gli effetti psicologici e fisiologici della meditazione e delle pratiche meditative, di cui se ne dispongono un’ampia varietà per le cure della salute. Esiste da secoli una forma di meditazione alquanto semplice ma piuttosto efficace che si chiama Mindfulness, che possiamo tradurre in italiano con il termine “consapevolezza”. Questa pratica si basa sulla consapevolezza del momento presente, dell’essere “qui ed ora”. Un modo semplice di prendere coscienza di sè e di quanto avviene non solo intorno a noi ma soprattutto dentro di noi. Molti studi ne hanno attestato la validità ma sono ancora molti gli scienziati che si dedicano alla scoperta di nuove applicazioni riguardo la “Mindfulness”. Il lavoro propone una rassegna degli studi più significativi

No full textTriple therapy for 7 days plus omeprazole for 21 days in treatment of active duodenal ulcer with Helicobacte pylori infection. A double blind placebo controlled trial.
No full textBackground. The current treatment for active duodenal ulcer implies a 4 weeks course with anti-secretory drugs and two antibiotics for
7 to 10 days in the case of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Aim. To establish whether triple therapy with omeprazole given for 7 days with two antibiotics eradicates H. pylori, heals and prevents
ulcer recurrence.
Patients and methods. A total of 103 patients with active duodenal ulcer and H. pylori were randomly divided into: a group of 50
patients treated with omeprazole, clarithromycin and tinidazole for 7 days followed by omeprazole for 21 days, and a group of 53 patients
who received the same treatment as the previous group, followed by placebo for 21 days. Endoscopy with quick urease test, histology and
culture was performed at entry and after 4 and 16 weeks.
Results. Ulcer healing rate after 16 weeks’ treatment was 95% in the former and 96% in the latter group (ns). Eradication after 16
weeks was 84% in the former and 83% in the latter group (ns). At 56 weeks, all patients examined were ulcer free and without H. pylori.
Conclusion. Omeprazole, clarithromycin and tinidazole for 7 days heals active duodenal ulcer and eradicates H. pylori infection in
most patients. Treatment extension with omeprazole, for 3 weeks, after triple therapy does not modify healing and eradication rates
