L’elogio del superficiale. Dal chiasma tattile a quello visivo, considerazioni tra Portmann e Merleau-Ponty
No full textThis work investigates Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concept of chiasme and his philosophical link with the biology by Adolf Portmann. The paper invokes a different meaning of "profondeur" surfaces, according to the notion of self-presentation. Through the studies of Merleau-Ponty, Arendt and Portmann himself it emerges the possibility of overcaming the opposition between inside/outside and a new conception of inter-animal-ity
Palinodia e memoria virtuale. Una lettura di W ou le souvenir dʼenfance di Georges Perec

No full textImage is Reality: between Spectres and living Dead
This paper investigates the concept of image and imagination. It starts with Bergson’s theories of image in “Matter and memory” that invoke a new epistemic idea according to which the image is not more a copy of reality, but reality itself. This “philosophy of image” allow rethinking the knowledge process as impersonal, released from the concept of subjectivity. Through the analysis of Blanchot we can observe how the image is similar to deads, or better, to living deads. The image, floating between what is alive and what is dead, makes trembling any separation between the effective and not-effective, being and not-being, the virtual and the actual. Lastly for these reasons we have to rethink it
«VOIR PLUS QU’ON NE VOIT»: FILOSOFIA DELL’IMMAGINE O IMMAGINE DELLA FILOSOFIA?
No full textThis article investigates Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concept of vision and his philosophical link with the painting of the artist Paul Cézanne. Through the works “Cézanne’s Doubt” and "Eye and Mind", this article shows that this link is not occasional, but it assumes an important philosophical role. Cézanne’s painting could be described using crucial concepts of both phenomenological project and method of Merleau-Ponty, this is the case, for instance of concepts like chiasme and expression. Along this article we could see the concept of vision switching into the meaning of "profondeur". A different meaning which emerges, according to the French philosopher, observing Cézanne works. The vision of both the artist and the philosopher is deeper than the vision that others could have. This is why the very vision is a remains of the invisibility which is to the heart of visibility. Therefore the art experience is a good example of the embodied experience, of the vision that could not be transparent but always chained
Fare Terra. Istituzione ed espressione in Maurice Merleau-Ponty
No full textIn this article, we aim to focus on the notion of Earth in Merleau-Ponty’s reflections on the concept of nature and his reinterpretation of the Husserlian Umsturz. In doing so, we will use the expression “Earth-making” to describe a particular instituting dynamic, where by the term “institution” we wish to refer to the Husserlian concept of Stiftung and its original reworking by Merleau-Ponty during his 1954-55 course at the Collège de France: L’institution - La Passivité.
We will therefore identify the concept of institution as a privileged way to describe our relationship with the Earth, understood as Boden [soil], envisaging in the instituting dynamic as something close to art. Finally, we will try to illustrate what Merleau-Ponty means by transcendental geology, namely the capacity to grasp the original relationship between space and time and a new way of conceptualizing the Earth as aIn this article, we aim to focus on the notion of Earth in Merleau-Ponty’s reflections on the concept of nature and his reinterpretation of the Husserlian Umsturz.

Filosofare alla fine dei tempi. Riflessioni agambeniane
No full textThis work focuses on the apocalyptic nature of Giorgio Agamben's philosophical works. The dialogue with Agamben is full of references to St. Paul's letters, Kafka's literary works and Benjamin's messianism. This work tries to define the criteria of the kairological time, considered as a section of the chronological time which deactivates the discretionary mechanism, along the same lines as St. Paul's lessons, which reformulate the distinction between Jews / non-Jews. In this diacritic strategy lies the secret of any future philosophy, that is profanation, meant as the abolition of any sacred limit and the return to a human use
QUEL CHE RESTA DELLA PSICANALISI. UNA LETTURA MERLEAU‐PONTIANA DI FREUD
No full textThis paper
investigates Maurice
Merleau‐Ponty’s
interest about
Freud’s
philosophical works.
It invokes the
Freud’s recognition
as “Master of the
School of
suspicion”, a famous
definition made by
Paul Ricœur.
According to Ricœur,
Freud’s theories
take place within
the philosophical
stream that looks at
“constituted cogito”
with deep mistrust.
Through the analysis
of “Phenomenology of
Perception” we can
observe the
accusation of
“pansexuality” moved
by Merleau‐Ponty.
However, as Merleau‐
Ponty’s philosophy develops and his view changes from “existential” to “ontological”, the relation
between Freud and Merleau‐Ponty changes accordingly, until the acknowledgment of the unconscious as
a prediction of the “chair”
