No full textL’arte di sognare insieme. Bernard Stiegler di fronte alla desolazione capitalistica
No full textNel saggio L’arte di sognare insieme. Bernard Stiegler di fronte alla desolazione capitalistica (concetti), Riccardo Fanciullacci legge nel malessere la tonalità emotiva fondamentale dell’ultima fase dell’elaborazione concettuale di Stiegler, costruendo a partire da tale “diagnosi” una ipotesi interpretativa per pensare politicamente il tema del sogno. Il movimento capitalistico di mercificazione generalizzata mina oggi
il processo socio-culturale di sublimazione, favorendo effetti noetici e
affettivi proletarizzanti. La dimensione “negantropica”, di contrasto
cioè all’entropia sociale, si apre laddove competenze tecniche e immaginazione promuovono la vita spirituale, da intendersi come vita
sociale nell’ambiente tecnico. Una volta abolita la presunta frontiera
tra materiale e spirituale, la facoltà di sognare, che include la fantasticheria e l’immaginazione creativa, permette di sfuggire alla realtà data
lungo le linee asintotiche di ciò che non esiste ancora, permettendo
di intravedere un orizzonte di cura etico-politico nella partecipazione
collettiva
Il bene delle cose
No full textThe article discusses divergent attempts to explain and defend the scholastic thesis that every entity is good. After showing how most of these interpretations presuppose a metaphysical framework that is difficult to defend today, it develops a practical interpretation of that thesis
La contingenza dello Stato, della società e della “multitudo”. Althusser di fronte a Hobbes
No full textAfter having first interpreted Thomas Hobbes’ political philosophy as a paradigmatic example of a questionable individualistic humanism, Louis Althusser saw it as a prefiguration of the alternative materialist approach, grounded on contingency, which he developed in the last part of his work as a new reading of the Marxist tradition. The paper reconstructs and assesses this late retrospective appropriation of Hobbes’ political philosophy. Focusing on the central thesis according to which society is not an organism, but an encounter, it offers a symptomatic reading of it, by showing that it reveals a deeper aporia of Althusser’s “aleatory materialism” itself. Indeed, the recourse to epicurean
atomism prevents Althusser from maintaining his original and more fundamental thesis about the social formation as a complex overdetermined whole
“Il carattere infinitamente elusivo della realtà”. Iris Murdoch sul realismo come conquista
No full textThis article is part of a study dedicated to the many senses in which Iris Murdoch appeals to reality and realism within her philosophical reflection. In particular, the epistemological significance of her thesis that a good ethical theory must seek to be realist, in the sense of being faithful to the complexities of the reality of moral life, is explored here
Althusser di fronte a Hobbes. La critica dell’umanismo individualista
No full textAlthusser worked out two distinct and subsequent interpretation of the political philosophy of Hobbes. In this paper I focus on the older one. According to this interpretation, the philosophy of Hobbes is framed within individualistic humanism. Individualist humanism is one of the conceptual frameworks Marx broke away from when he founded the science of socio-historical reality, that is, historical materialism. This science has made possible to recognize individualistic humanism not just as a false theory, but as a socially active ideology. I thus offer a wide reconstruction of the place of this interpretation in Althusser’s philosoph
Dalla relazione di riconoscimento all'eticità
No full textThe paper discusses the recognition theory elaborated by Lucio Cortella in his book: L’ethos del riconoscimento. Starting from the criticalities identified in that theory, the paper offers the outlines of an alternative theory. For Cortella, a good theory of the recognition relationship cannot conceive it as a simple intersubjective relationship: between the interacting subjects, a third instance must be introduced to act as a mediator. For Cortella, however, this third instance is reduced to a minimal ethics of a transcendental nature. After criticising this thesis, another is defended and developed. According to this other thesis, the third instance between interacting subjects must be conceived as a thick ethical background, which includes norms, customs, traditions, forms of relationships and institutions. The conclusion is that a good theory of recognition must be inscribed in a more complex theory of society in which the latter is not reduced to a multiplicity of interactions
A determinação em última instância I – A construção da problemática: Althusser face a Engels
No full textLa necessità dell’invenzione concettuale. Una discussione con Pierpaolo Cesaroni (e l’epistemologia storica francese) su scienza, filosofia e politica
No full textIn this article I reconstruct, discuss, and develop both the understanding of scientific practice and philosophy set forth by Pierpaolo Cesaroni in his book, La vita dei concetti. Hegel, Bachelard, Canguilhem. As regards the understanding of science, I focus on the investigation of the distinction between activity subjected to norms and activity elaborating norms. I also consider a number of connected issues, including the one relating to that particular form of necessity implied in the elaboration of a scientific concept. As to the understanding of philosophy, I distinguish the several intellectual performances which can be deemed as philosophical. The closing annex is devoted to the Althusserian conception of an authentic science of politics
Di cosa è capace la filosofia materialista? Il contributo filosofico alla fondazione di una nuova scienza secondo Althusser
No full textThis paper is devoted to the Althusserian theory of philosophy and in particular to the distinction between materialist and idealist philosophy. Materialist philosophy, for Althusser, is primarily that which accepts to operate at the back of the sciences rather than to occupy a foundational role in relation to scientific concepts and methods.In this article, however, two situations in which this relationship is complicated are examined: the first is given by the role that philosophy occupies in the foundation of a new science; the second concerns the status of epistemology between the sociology of science and philosophy. What is at stake more generally is to focus on the possible place of philosophy with respect to social science, that is, to knowledge dedicated to historical and practical reality
