Quoting the Other: toward a “minor” ethic of reading
No full textIn "Toward an Ethic of Discussion," Jacques Derrida returns to the controversy with Jonathan Searle to clarify his position but above all because he "would have wished to make legible the (philosophical, ethical, political) axiomatics hidden beneath the code of academic discussion." I intend, in turn, to return to this text in order to find in it not only the conditions of an ethics of academic discussion but also of interpretation in a deconstructive perspective. In "Toward an Ethic of Discussion," in fact, it is possible to point out the necessity of a certain ethical treatment of the texts. In particular, how can we determine the conditions of an ethical use of quotation against the always possible manipulation of the text that quotation makes possible? I attempt to answer this question claiming that the reading protocol of deconstruction meets these conditions showing us at the same time the ethical conditions of scientific discourse in general, beyond any scientific claim of objectivity
Schizogonies: Deconstruction of Derrida's Deconstruction of Reproduction
No full textWhile working on the Italian translation of Life Death, I became aware of some inaccuracies on Derrida's part that might weaken the effectiveness of his deconstruction of the notion of 'reproduction'. Not only, such inaccuracies seem to lead Derrida's interpretation of reproduction toward a conception of 'life' that might even hint at an undeconstructed metaphysical background. I have already dealt with such inaccuracies in detail in two articles published in French, here I will recall their outcomes in order to try to test the most problematic hypothesis they have led me to formulate: the Derridean conception of 'life' implies a metaphysical background
Differing the Ecological Event: Interpretive Mutations between Bio-and Eco-Deconstruction
No full textOn this Side of the Drive for Power. Derrida, Freud and the Society of Drives
Full text linkThe essay focuses on the Derridian definition of "drive for power (Bemachtigungstrieb)" proposed at the end of To Speculate - on "Freud", a text published in The Postcard (1980) that comes from the seminar La vie la mort, held in 1975-1976 and published in April 2019. It is first of all about making clear the distance that Derrida takes from Freud, in particular with respect to the hypothesis advanced by the latter of a death drive as an irreducible motive of living beings and consequently of psychic life, and more precisely with respect to what, according to Freud, follows from this hypothesis, namely an original cruelty that would condition human life, individual and collective. Secondly, it is a matter of bringing out, through the deconstruction of the "drive for power (Bemachtigungstrieb)" the Derridean conception of the psychic system as a "society of drives
Epidemiological aspects of Crohn’s disease
No full textCrohn’s Disease (CD) is considered a result of multifactorial interplay between genetic, immune-related, environmental, and infectious triggers all contributing into evolution of clinical disease. The age of onset of Crohn’s disease has a bimodal distribution. The first peak occurs between the ages of 15 and 30 years (late adolescence and early adulthood), and the second occurs mainly in women between the ages of 60 and 70 years. In general, the frequency of CD is similar in males and females, with some studies showing a very slight female predominance. The rate of Crohn’s disease is 1.1–1.8 times higher in women than in men. This pattern is reversed with pediatric CD, which has a higher incidence in boys than in girls (pediatric male-to-female ratio, ~1.6:1)
The Raven Paradox Revisited in Terms of Random Variables
No full textThe discussion about the Raven Paradox is ever-renewing: after nearly seventy years, many authors propose from time to time new solutions, and many authors state that these solutions are unsatisfactory. It is worthy to be carefully noted that though most arguments in favor or against the paradox are based on the notion of ``probability'' and on the application of Bayes' law, not one of them makes use of the Kolmogorov axiomatic theory of probability and on the subsequent notion of ``random variable''. This seems to be due to a preference for the purely logical interpretation of the notion of ``probability'' which allows to assign a probability value to propositions expressing natural (universal) laws. This paper aims at presenting an attempt to contribute a solution to the paradox by the proposal of a different way to express universal natural laws and by the use of a language which does not allow to apply probability to universal statements
