The Politics of Utopia: Walter Pater’s “Lacedaemon”
2016
Walter Pater is not usually considered as a politically committed writer, neither is Aestheticism of which he was the gifted theoretician with The Renaissance (1873). Although the political commitments of the Aesthetic movement have been questioned over the last two decades, both by including women aesthetes, and by re-evaluating the movement’s dissemination among the middle classes, discussion of Pater’s political ideas is almost non-existent. His Plato and Platonism (1893) is however not so remote from politics since it discusses Plato’s political philosophy. In particular, “Lacedaemon”, the chapter devoted to Sparta, enables Pater to intervene in the political debate from an original sta…

Negative Platonism and Maximal Existence in the Thought of Jan Patocka
2010
According to Jan Patocka’s “negative Platonism,” ordinary, or “positive” Platonism makes a fundamental mistake in formulating Plato’s true “discovery,” i.e., the Idea, as a non-objective determination of objectivity, in terms of an ideal object that sensible objects are supposed to imitate. Does this mean that Plato himself misunderstood the epimeleia tēs psychēs and human self-knowledge (exetasis)? Analogously, Patocka states that “classical phenomenology fell victim to its own discoveries and their imprecise formulation.” Is this due to the transcendental subjectivism of Husserlian thought or, rather, to the fact that Husserl could theorize only the modes of givenness of an object? These …
Platone e gli Eleati (II)
2017
Si cerca di mostrare che le tendenze eleatiche erano molto diffuse nell´ Atene del IV secolo, probabilmente nella stessa Accademia e che Platone ha scritto Sofista e Parmenide essenzialmente contro i Megarici Plato gives two constrasting accounts of Zeno's philosophical purposes in the Phaedrus and Parmenides. The Parmenides is more accurate in detail, and consequently it is more probable that Zeno intended to defend Parmenides' teaching, as he is represented as doing in this dialogue, than to accumulate eristic contradictions for their own sake, as he is represented as doing in the Phaedrus. Plato seems to be aware that one of the main features of Socratism, dialectic reasoning, originates…

Rovesciamento del platonismo in "Così parlò Zarathustra" di Nietzsche
2009
La filosofia Nietzscheana è tragicamente consapevole di non potere sfuggire alla trappola della moralità anche se ne da un giudizio negativo. Zarathustra è un tentativo di capovolgimento di questa moralità o del platonismo se per esso intendiamo un idealismo come pretesa di adattare tutto alle proprie visioni.
