    La filosofia in fiamme. Saggio su Pascal

    No full text
    La filosofia, come ci proviene da Platone e Aristotele, è amore della sapienza. Di questa origine l'avvenire ha conservato ben poco. La modernità, in particolare, ha definito la forma originaria dell'abbandono dell'erotica originaria, assimilando la filosofia alla scienza all'interno del progetto di riduzione dell'ente al pensiero. Eppure, nel vivo dell'abbandono, nel cuore della modernità, Pascal riaccende la fiamma originaria. Sulla scorta di questa tesi di fondo, il saggio istituisce un confronto fra Platone, Aristotele e Pascal che lascia apprezzare una sorprendente continuità nella discontinuità fra l'antico e il moderno.Philosophy, as it comes from Plato and Aristotle, is the love of wisdom.

On the basis of this basic thesis, the essay establishes a comparison between Plato, Aristotle and Pascal which allows us to appreciate a surprising continuity in the discontinuity between the ancient and the modern

    Levels of oxypurines (hypoxanthine and xanthine) and uric acid were measured in plasma and urine of tumor bearing patients (gastric and colon rectal tumors), and of subjects affected by non specific diseases. In both groups, an increase in plasma purine bases and a decrease of their excretion was observed as compared to healthy controls; no substantial variations concerning uric acid were found. Possible mechanisms inducing alterations of purine metabolism in so different conditions are discussed
