The ethics of thinking in Heidegger, Bruno & Spinoza
No full textThe aim of the present work is to face Heidegger’s claim that philosophy has ended.
Facing this claim for us has not taken the form of creating a new method or positing a
new question but that of a search for anomalies in what Heidegger decrees as
finished, which is philosophy as metaphysics. In his historical confrontation with the
history of thought Heidegger seems to have left out, dismissed or forgotten those
authors who do not fit into his definition of metaphysics. We have chosen Giordano
Bruno and Baruch Spinoza, metaphysical thinkers who have undertaken a
philosophical practice that does not intend to demolish subjectivity but actually
begins without any need for it. The birth of the subject as grounding reality finds its
affirmation with Descartes and inaugurates modernity that, according to Heidegger,
exhausts philosophy and leads it into the arms of modern science and technology.
Bruno and Spinoza respectively precede and follow the birth of modernity and of
modern science, which they look at with an eye that is not that of the modern subject.
Following their different approaches to philosophy, we shall also explore their
relation to Renaissance Humanism, dismissed by Heidegger as a historical reiteration
of the Roman world, perceived as a perversion of the Greek origin of thought. We
shall show how hasty such a dismissal is. Our goal is to show not merely that
Heidegger is wrong but that if Western thinking contains the seeds of its own end, it
also contains the ones of a different understanding of the Western world and its
achievements. The three authors will engage on the grounds of ontology, gnosiology
and ethics and yet we have defined the whole enterprise of this work as an ethics
overall. An ethics of thinking is a practice of thought that wishes to envisage the
possibility for Western man of inhabiting his own world by understanding himself
not as an isolated subject and master of nature but as the place where the unity and
multiplicity of nature come to be thought at the same time
Restauro architettonico e sistemazioni urbane: il contributo di Bruno Maria Apollonj Ghetti
No full textThe research developed within the PhD in Cultural and Landscape Heritage’s Preservation, aims to analyze the figure of architect and professor Bruno Maria Apollonj Ghetti (1905-1989), and in particular his role and his contribution to the discipline of restoration work in the second half of the twentieth century.
This paper, using both a bibliographical analysis on the subject and some unpublished document archive, reconstructs Apolloni Ghetti’s career as an architect and an academic in the context of Italian restoration work culture’s essential phases during the twentieth century, in order to provide a contribution to the knowledge of a complex character, barely investigated by historiography to this day.
The essay is split into four chronologically ordered parts, and for each of them the theoretical features of Apolloni Ghetti’s restoration works are always compared with their implementation in actual works, highlighting the contribution of this multifaceted character to Italian Restoration work’s culture during the twentieth century.
In each of these parts some relevant examples have been analyzed in light of a wide unpublished documentation found during archival research, especially into the “Fondo Apolloni Ghetti” kept in Accademia di San Luca’s Historical Archives in Rome, focusing on operational results through direct evidence on the considered architectures.
Apollonj Ghetti’s figure is analyzed starting from the experience within the culture of ‘Roman School' in which he was trained as a student and an assistant of Gustavo Giovannoni, from whom he inherited a scientific approach to restoration, nevertheless reaching a clear personal systematization of the analytical approach preceding the practice.
Through a rereading of his entire career as an architect, a restorer and an University Professor, Apolloni Ghetti’s approach type to relevant issues into the debate about restoration work, which developed from the thirties, through the post-war period of 'reconstruction', until to the crucial moment of revision of the discipline in the sixties and seventies, is analyzed within the paper.
Through careful examination of restoration works carried out by Apolloni Ghetti, it comes to light a constant relationship between theoretical reflection and operational practice, which leads to the application of a methodology in which restoration is the result of a path based on a philological analysis of the building supported by direct relief of material architecture substances.
The versatile nature of the roman architect makes it impossible distinguishing his experience as an architecture historian, a restorer and a designer from the one as an academic.
The analysis of Apolloni Ghetti’ s critical growth, starting from the reconstructive outlook of the thirties, experiencing the modernist approach within the ‘old-new’ post-war debate and reaching the undivided attention to the integral conservation of the palimpsest, of the architectural surface and of human and environmental factors, allows us to review all of the critical issues that contributed to the definition of restoration’s discipline during the twentieth century.
The paper highlights Bruno Maria Apolloni Ghetti’ s main contribution to the culture of his time, which can be found in materical approach to the architectural palimpsest in its authenticity made by form, material and structure, as well as in the recognition of the importance of human and environmental factors considered as essential values which necessarily affect the approach to operative practice of restoration work.
We find his cultural legacy into the balance between the demands of restoration techniques and theoretical issues as well as in the attention to the preservation of the building’s material authenticity, resulting from a path of theoretical and operational growth during which the roman architect has been a protagonist of all the basic stages of restoration discipline’s development
