No full textThe Jesuit Cultivation of Vegetative Souls: Leonard Lessius (1554–1623) on a Sober Diet
No full textA useful prism through which one can examine the positive Jesuit attitude toward the human condition is that of the nature and operations of the vegetative soul. Rather than neglecting aspects that pertained presumably to the lowest functions of human life, Jesuit theologians dealt with issues of nutrition and generation in a variety of their works. Sometimes, Jesuit theologians even went beyond their own teaching interests to put the vegetative soul at the very center of their research. This contribution will inquire into a successful long seller during the seventeenth century as an example of such literature. In 1613, the Dutch theologian Leonard Lessius (1554–1623) published the Hygiasticon seu vera ratio valetudinis bonae et vitae ad extremam senectute conservandam (Antwerp), a peculiar treatise that was strictly focused on nutrition and the best ways to optimize it for the physical and spiritual health of human beings. Although such an outcome was the fruit of a moral habit rooted in human learning and observation, Lessius also connected it to traditional virtues such as “temperance” and “sobriety.” By doing this, Lessius seemed to provide an implicit correction to the ranking of human functions–at least from the practical aspects of living a Christian life–, as nothing superior could be performed without rendering appropriate respect to the lower powers. As was true of any being in this world, humans were to be primarily gardeners of their souls
¿Cuánto queda de la noche? El retorno a la renta y las aventuras de la universidad (italiana)
No full textWhat about the night? The raise of the return on capital and the (Italian) university’s adventures. In the last few decades, many tensions have developed around the university as an institution. Once a flywheel for climbing the social ladder, the academic institution seems to have lost its relevance as a vehicle for social and economic mobility. So far, no reform has succeeded in solving the fundamental problems that prevent the university from functioning as a “transmission belt”, as Louis Althusser would put it. Tensions have grown around every aspect of the functions, operations and “structure” of the university: the organization, the recruitment of both faculty and staff, governance, curriculum, teaching practices, and institutional goals and priorities. Today, everyone calls for a meritocratic system in higher education while at the same time they complain about the current state of affairs. This article tries to re-construct – etsi Marx non daretur – the connections between the current form of capital and its superstructural effects, particularly in Italy. Here we enquire whether the recent rise in the return on capital in today’s economy is connected with the social erosion of the university’s place in society
Su Schopenhauer. Marginalità filosofico-pedagogiche
Full text linkIn tempi di razionalità debilitata, di emozioni da educare, di visioni del mondo irrimediabilmente lontane dalle lusinghe del progresso da realizzare ad ogni costo, non è del tutto peregrino gettare uno sguardo veloce su chi delle peripezie della ragione è stato cantore forse inarrivabile. Peripezie sostanzialmente declinate come regresso costretto, come disavventura storica non revocabile, come frattura non sanabile.
Da questa costatazione quasi banale è nata la curiosità di rileggere qualche pagina di Schopenhauer, autore spesso descritto come il cantore principe dell’irrazionalismo, ma a lungo corteggiato da una letteratura filosofica idealista e marxista che ha visto in lui il portatore di un paradigma fortemente interpretante. Schopenhauer è stato infatti per molti neo-moderni il maestro di ermeneutica, un maestro che li ha aiutati a comprendere il dissolversi di un mondo che si credeva e voleva solido, razionale, redento. Ma in lui non c’è redenzione, e rara redenzione si profila anche nel decostruzionismo di molti illuminati cantori delle nuove sorti progressive. Proprio quelle stesse sorti nude e dimesse che sembrano profilarsi per la pedagogia, prigioniera di volontarismi, esortazioni e ripetizioni tecnicistiche. La naturalità innatista schopenhaueriana potrebbe forse rappresentare, in materia, un farmaco da risveglio salutare
La educación del indio. Los jesuitas José de Acosta y Blas Valera sobre la lengua y la capacidad de los nativos peruanos
No full textPara los primeros jesuitas, la provincia peruana fue un lugar de experimentación de prácticas educativas e inculturización. La presencia de una cultura compleja como la incaica planteó a la Compañía problemas cruciales en lo teológico y lo político. Para resolver estos problemas, algunos miembros de la orden asumen estudios en gramática, antropología e historia que siguen siendo esenciales para la comprensión de los pueblos andinos. Entre estos estudios, se encuentran los de José de Acosta (1540-1600), provincial del Perú, y Blas Valera (1544-1597?/1619?), primer mestizo en ordenarse sacerdote jesuita. Ambos se oponen a la política de conversiones forzosas de los indios, pero difieren en sus propuestas para la evangelización de los nativos. Este artículo busca investigar estas propuestas, entendiéndolas como dos estrategias pedagógicas diferentes, pero no opuestas una a la otra
