Identità in esilio. Il rapporto tra “passioni identitarie” e “coscienza planetaria” in Paul Ricoeur
No full textThis article investigates the question of the possible survival of cultures despite the dominant mechanisms of planetary standardization. Through the analysis of some writings by Paul Ricoeur, I want to describe an appropriate perspective of intercultural pluralism, which presupposes an attitude of self-decentering. The “passions of identity” coexist with a more elaborate form of “planetary awareness”. Western culture’s claim of being the only universal culture could be overcome and a real approach to other traditions made possible. On this view, human plurality can become a fundamental premise both for the constitution of the self, even as a “migrant” self, and for the configuration of a specific space of hospitality
Comprendere sé, comprendere l'altro. Percorsi con Paul Ricoeur
No full textLa teoria dell’identità di Paul Ricoeur costituisce
il presupposto di un pluralismo ermeneutico che
passa attraverso conflitti, ma anche fecondi e
creativi intrecci di interpretazione. Nell’approfondire la dialettica tra il sé e l’altro viene così
riconosciuta l’esigenza di un sapere phronetico-comunicativo che consenta al soggetto sia di
ridefinire continuamente se stesso sia di gestire
le difficoltà derivanti dall’incontro con l’estraneo, lo straniero. Mettendo in luce i tratti di un
originale paradigma di confronto interculturale, i
diversi percorsi qui proposti convergono nell’affermare che l’atto interpretativo non corrisponde
affatto a una completa visione dall’alto, poiché
ciascuna prospettiva, personale o culturale, non
può che individuare tracce di verità di lato, in
modo situato e localizzato. Ecco per quale ragione è soltanto attraverso un dialogo condotto a
giusta distanza, con autentico spirito di saggezza, che si può iniziare davvero a comprendersi e
a comprendere ciò che è altro da sé
Hannah Arendt e la vita contemplativa. Intorno a The Life of the Mind
No full textWhat makes us think? What are we doing wenn we do nothing but
think? Where are we wenn we are together with no one but ourselves? In
the work The Life of the Mind Hannah Arendt reises these questions and
explains that all invisible and soundless mental activities have in common
a “withdrawal” from the world as it appears and a bending back toward
the self. In this sense, the human being either engages in critical thinking or
moves away from himself, falling into a condition of “thoughtlessness” and
therefore of inhumanity
Understanding a Lateral Truth: Paul Ricoeur’s Intercultural Hermeneutics
No full textStarting from Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic pluralism and its relevance from the point of view of the current intercultural debate, the article aims to elaborate a pluralistic model in which we recognize the need for a hermeneutic virtue, the phronesis as a prerequisite for understanding that each person can only see parts of truth 'sideways' and that it is not possible to compare one's beliefs with those of others by looking at them from the outside, from a sort of superior view from above. Intercultural dialogue can only start from an awareness of the inadequacy and historical-cultural determinacy of different perspectives, avoiding the twin pitfalls of absolutizing singular points of view and falling into naive relativism. In this way, the article aims to discuss Ricoeur's conception of a situated and 'lateral' truth and, therefore, his original application of a phronetic-hermeneutic model in the dialogue between cultures
Che cos’è metafisica? Recenti risposte ad antiche domande
No full textOn the occasion of the ninety years of Martin Heidegger’s academic lecture “Was ist Metaphysik?” (1929), the Journal “Aquinas”, edited by Leonardo Messinese, asks this fundamental question again. Published articles give answers to this question that enhance the complex historical and conceptual evolution of metaphysics, but at the same time demonstrate how it can and should be declined in ever more plural terms
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
