    The role of educative thought in the life and work of Antonio Gramsci

    No full text
    Many philosophers have propounded a vision of an improved society, what distinguishes Antonio Gramsci is his continuous effort to make it happen by understanding the process in order to put into practice. Gramsci's conviction about the importance of educative development came from both theory and experience. While there has been considerable examination of Gramsci's work in relation to the Prison Notebooks, this study will seek to address a lacuna in Gramsci scholarship. Using Gramsci's philological method, I analyse Gramsci's pre-prison activity; his pre-prison articles and letters, which, together with his letters from prison, formed part of his educative mission. This educative process was necessary, in order to construct a new party which would develop a collective will, collaboratively, with the masses.In this study therefore, I explore the contexts and formative experiences of the first part of his life together with the intellectual sources from which Gramsci developed his later theories, making central hitherto underemphasised connections between them which informed his writing and ideas. I intend to illustrate that Gramsci's underlying purpose in his writing, and political activity, was not only practical, on how to create a new socialist ruling class, but also educative in forming the mindset and values of his comrades. So that in addition to outlining his vision of a new order, he implicitly guided or explicitly explained the processes by which the necessary changes in social relations and moral climate could be made in order to achieve it. Each person had to engage with the values of the new order so that each could contribute to the construction of a new robust state. It was essential to build a hegemony at the most profound level, one which was dependent on collective understandings and a collective will

    Thoracic complications from retained abdominal gallstones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: is it always mandatory a thoracic approach?

    No full text
    BACKGROUND: Thoracic complications from retained abdominal gallstones are quite rare and the incidence rate ranges between 0.08\% and 0.3\%. Diagnosis and treatment of these complications are challenging due to the uncommon presentations and the debated role of the thoracic approach. This review of all cases reported in literature aims to discuss the best practice of this rare condition. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed for articles from January 1993 to May 2019 using PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, ScienceDirect. The following mesh-words were used: 'cholelithopthysis', 'thoracic', 'gallstones' 'retained', and 'spilled'. All cases of thoracic complications from retained gallstones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were extrapolated. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were included in this study. The most common symptoms were fever, hemoptysis and lithoptysis. Symptoms after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were presented after a mean time of 9.8±\pm14.2 months (range from one week to 60 months). Delayed diagnosis was found in fourteen patients (58.4.\%). Only four subjects were treated successfully with antibiotic therapy alone (16.7\%), whereas 20 patients needed surgery or interventional radiology (83.3\%). Seven patients (29.2\%) were successfully managed with an abdominal approach. Three patients were managed using thoracentesis, thoracoscopic-thoracotomic drainage (12.5\%). Right lung decortication and pulmonary wedge resections were necessary for ten patients (41.6\%). CONCLUSION: Clinicians always must inquire about the previous cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis related diseases in all patients suffering from recurrent right-sided pleural/lung affections, to improve diagnostic delay. The escalated approach must be performed: empirical antimicrobial therapy followed by targeted therapy as soon as microbiological data are available; afterwards, abdominal surgery is effective in approximately 30\% of patients while the remaining patients have to be submitted to a thoracic approach

    Nitromalonaldehyde as a Ligand. Synthesis and Reactivity with Isocyanides of Monomeric Tris(ligand)metal(II) Complexes and Crystal Structure of Pentakis(4-methylphenyl isocyanide)cobalt(I) Tris(nitromalon aldehydo)cobaltate(II)

    The syntheses and characterization of the first monomeric tris(β-dicarbonyl) species of cobalt(II) and iron(II) have been achieved by using nitromalonaldehyde (NMA) as the ligand. The reaction between NMA and several other metal(II) chlorides (M = Zn, Ni, Cu, Pt, Pd) is also presented, and the results are tentatively explained on the basis of both steric and electronic properties of the dialdehyde ligand compared with various substituted acetylacetonates. Furthermore, the reactivity of some nitromalonaldehyde complexes with isocyanides has been investigated, and a new method to synthesize the [Fe(CNR)6]2+ and [Cu(CNR)4]+ cations is described. In the case of (nitromalonaldehyde)cobalt(II) complexes, reaction with isocyanides gives [Co(CNR)5][Co(NMA)3] (R = 4-CH3C6H4, 4-CH3OC6H4, 4-N02C6H4, 4-ClC6H4). The crystal structure of [Co(4-CH3C6H4NC)5][Co(NMA)3] is built up of discrete monomeric octahedral [Co(NMA)3]- anions and trigonal-bipyramidal [Co(CNR)5]+ cations. The crystals are triclinic, of space group PI, with unit cell dimensions a = 14.29 (1) Å, b = 16.60 (1)Å, c = 12.19 (1)Å,α = 109.2 (1)°, β = 110.0 (1)°, γ = 94.1 (l)1 23456, and Z = 2. A total of 1942 observed reflections have been measured by single-crystal diffractometry and refined by full-matrix least squares to R = 0.109. © 1981, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved

    Este trabalho se compõe de duas partes. Primeiramente, um estudo introdutório sobre o autor, Antonio Rosmini, sobre sua obra filosófica e, mais especificamente, sobre o livro Principi della scienza morale, que, na segunda parte, traduzimos para o português. Na introdução, expomos brevemente o sistema filosófico rosminiano e o contextualizamos no âmbito histórico-filosófico. Além disso, apresentamos o percurso por nós desenvolvido para obter uma tradução filologicamente correta do texto original, incluindo um breve glossário dos termos filosóficos empregados pelo autor.This work is composed of two parts. Firstly, there is an introductoty study on the author, Antonio Rosmini, on his phylosophical system and, more specifically, on the book Principi della scienza morale, which we have translated to Portuguese, in the second part. In the introduction, we expose briefly the rosminian phylosofical system and we place it in its historical-phylosofical context. Furthermore, we show the path weve followed to reach a phylologically correct translation from the original text, including a brief glossary of phylosophical terms employed by the author

    Su una (presunta) lettera di Luigi Credaro ad Antonio Labriola

    No full text
    Il saggio rappresenta un ulteriore approfondimento dei rapporti fra Antonio Labriola e Luigi Credaro. Il movente è rappresentato dal V e ultimo volume del Carteggio del filosofo cassinate (Napoli, Bibliopolis, 2006) e dall’interpretazione che il curatore, Stefano Miccolis (noto studioso labrioliano, purtroppo prematuramente scomparso nel 2009) espone nel testo di una minuta di Credaro, conservata nel Fondo intitolato al Valtellinese all’Archivio Centrale dello Stato (b. n. 1, fasc. 5, Corrispondenza privata 1902), nella quale lo stesso Credaro ringrazia il destinatario, non precisato, per il ruolo decisivo recitato nell’approvazione da parte del Consiglio della Facoltà di Filosofia e Lettere della “Sapienza” romana della sua richiesta di trasferimento dall’Università di Pavia sulla cattedra, già labrioliana, di Pedagogia (27 maggio 1902). L’individuazione del destinatario in Antonio Labriola, proposta da Miccolis, è contestata dall’autore, rinvenendo nella chiusura della minuta, nella quale Credaro esprime, con la sua “riconoscenza”, “la viva soddisfazione di diventare Collega di Lei, che mi fu maestro illuminato e affettuoso”, una chiara indicazione (confermata dal raffronto con la conclusione di L’insegnamento universitario della pedagogia, la prima Prelezione del valtellinese alla Regia Università di Roma, letta il 15 gennaio 1903) che la lettera era in realtà indirizzata a Giacomo Barzellotti (1844-1917), storico della filosofia di matrice neokantiana-spiritualistica, del quale Credaro aveva seguito da studente il corso di Filosofia morale all’Università di Pavia. Tale disamina critica è funzionale, per contrasto, al rafforzamento della tesi già in precedenza formulata dall’autore che esclude l’esistenza di significativi e approfonditi rapporti fra Labriola e Credaro antecedenti alla chiamata a Roma del Valtellinese – circostanza nella quale si sarebbe realizzata, in sostanza, una coincidenza e concordanza di interessi – e che l’avrebbero in qualche modo ascritta a una ben precisa, motivata volontà del Cassinate, magari da inserire in un ben preciso, complessivo suo “disegno” politico-accademico; ma il saggio non si limita a tale serrata pars destruens e insiste, nel prosieguo, con numerosi spunti, sull’ulteriore tesi dell’instaurarsi di un significativo rapporto ideale fra i due studiosi successivo all’approdo romano di Credaro, nel senso, per l’esattezza, di un influsso del Labriola herbartiano, e del suo concetto della libertà morale, sul Valtellinese, semplicemente adombrato nel contributo del 2006.In the 5th, last volume of Carteggio by Antonio Labriola (Napoli, Bibliopolis, 2006) the editor and author, Stefano Miccolis (well known Labriola researcher, untimely died in 2009)reproduce contains the text of a handwritten draft that he also delivered at the Central State Archive, (b. n. 1, file. 5, Corrispondenza privata 1902), in which Credaro thanks the recipient of the letter, unknown, for his efforts and for having ensured approval of Credaro's transfer application to La Sapienza, occurred in May 27, 2002). The recipient of this letter is, some argue, Antonio Labriola. The author objects to this interpretation and points out that at the end of the letter there is a clear indication (confirmed by comparing it to the conclusion of Teaching pedagogy at the University, the first Pre-lesson provided by Credaro at the Rome University, on January 15, 1903) that the letter was indeed addressed to Giacomo Barzellotti (1844-1917), a historian of philosophy with a Neokantian-Spiritualist approach, of which Credaro had already followed the Moral Philosophy course in Pavia. This analysis is important, with a contrast approach, to provide further support to the thesis the author had already expressed, that is that there had not been any deep and significant exchange between Credaro and Labriola before the former was transferred to Rome; however the essay does not stop with this hectic pars destruens but rather insists on the establishing of a significant intellectual and academic relationship (or rather, an influence of the Herbartian Labriola and of his concept of moral freedom, on Credaro) after the latter's move to Rome
