OSSERVAZIONI SULLA FORTUNA E I FRAINTENDIMENTI DEL TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICUS A CENT’ANNI DALLA SUA PUBBLICAZIONE
2022
Starting with a suggestion, the similarity between Wittgenstein and Montaigne, this article reconstructs a quick history of the substantial misunderstanding that, despite his enormous success, characterized the "Tractatus logico-philosophicus" and the role of ethical issue in this book.
Sur la "grammaire publique" du sujet parlant
2014
A partire dalla rilettura di un passo della "Retorica" di Aristotele,si sostiene che l'ascoltatore, non solo è parte costitutiva del linguaggio, ma è anche il motore reale del parlare. Tanto da proporre di riscrivere la formula "parlante-ascoltatore" in "ascoltatore-parlante". Ne seguono osservazioni sul ruolo della negazione nelle lingue verbali e una rilettura della nozione wittgensteiniana di "gioco linguistico".
When Ethics and Aesthetics Are One and the Same: A Wittgensteinian Perspective on Natural Value
2015
Many environmental philosophers have held naturalness to be a primary source of nature’s value. Seen this way, the nature that is most valuable is wild nature, and ‘wild’ is that which is unmodiled by human activity. However, accounts of our attributions of value to the wild often have an aura of elusiveness to them, as if what really matters about nature being wild could not ultimately be captured by words. In an attempt to account for what really matters, I relate our fascination with wild nature to a famous Wittgensteinian quote—‘Ethics and Aesthetics are one and the same’ (Tractatus 2006a: 28, §6.421)—and inspect the ways in which important dimensions of our attributions of value to wil…
Paolozzi & Wittgenstein: The Artist and the Philosopher
2019
Conceived as a collection of essays, this edited volume exceptionally brings together philosophers and art historians of different geographic and generational backgrounds to discuss Wittgenstein and Paolozzi, giving voice to a variety of disciplinary approaches and shaping diverse topics that may arouse the interest of a twofold audience. As a matter of fact, the book offers both a unique take on Paolozzi’s oeuvre, reassessing his pivotal importance in the second half of the twentieth century—especially as far as medium diversity and the use of popular culture are concerned—and a convenient opportunity to explore Wittgenstein’s thought related to visual arts and his influence on contemporar…

Assembling Reminders for a Particular Purpose: Paolozzi’s Ephemera, Toys and Collectibles
2019
This chapter addresses the centrality of environmental installations in Paolozzi’s late production and the relevance that the practice of “assembling reminders for a particular purpose” holds in his understanding of the artist’s profession, further constituting another aspect of affinity with Wittgenstein. In order to do so, Mantoan examines three aspects that are instrumental to understand Paolozzi’s ‘collecting mood’ that led him to assemble a rich variety of items, ephemera, toys and objects of popular culture: the first one concerns the likely origins of this attitude, grounded in his childhood years, as well as in the influence of Parisian Surrealism and American mass culture; the seco…
