The author finds a dialectical nature in the beauty, according what Plato says about true in the dialogue Republic. This dialectics is developed through the link between eros and beauty that appears in the dialogue Symposium.
Reconstrucción del entorno radio para comunicaciones en agrupaciones de vehículos
2020
Los pelotones de vehículos son grupos de vehículos que viajan juntos, manteniendo una distancia constante entre ellos. Los pelotones suelen necesitar comunicaciones inalámbricas sólidas y fiables para mantener su estructura y realizar maniobras coordinadas. Cuando el pelotón es asistido por la infraestructura a través de una comunicación celular vehículo a todo (V2X), uno de los factores críticos es reducir la latencia de la comunicación. En este trabajo se explora el uso de una técnica de interpolación espacial, concretamente el Kriging Ordinario, como mecanismo para reducir la sobrecarga de señalización en la etapa de adquisición de información del canal, lo que puede repercutir en la prá…
Traffic congestion reduction based on vehicle platoons and intelligent crossroads interactions
2021
Intersections are at the core of urban congestion. For more than a decade, new approaches based on autonomous and connected driving have been proposed. They aim to improve the performance of traffic control at intersections, by harnessing connectivity and driving automation (longitudinal control). These approaches have in common the fact that vehicles can negotiate together their right of way to use the conflicting space. However, they are different in terms of the way they share the space and optimization techniques. The challenge is to define the sequence of access of vehicles to the common space (which one goes first, which is the second, and so on) and the speed profile of vehicles to a…
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…
Zeusi e la bellezza di Elena
2004
Dall’antichità fino al Settecento (Plinio, Cicerone, Boccaccio, Ghiberti, Pico della Mirandola, Alberti, Ludovico Dolce, Bellori, Giovan Battista Marino, Batteux), vengono esaminate le varianti dell’aneddoto di Zeusi (V-IV sec. a. C.) che, per dipingere Elena nel tempio di Hera lacinia, prese a modello le cinque più belle fanciulle di Crotone. Nelle varie fonti la vicenda oscilla tra imitazione realistica e idealizzante; attraverso l’analisi di queste trasformazioni semantiche si tenta di dimostrare come la storia di Zeus, lungi dal costituire un mero topos, assurga a paradigma ermeneutico della creazione artistica.
Obbedienza e persuasione. Due modelli della relazione medico-paziente nella Grecia antica
2015
Through the analysis of texts written between the 4th century BC and the 2nd century AD, the article reconstructs the emergence in ancient Greece of two opposing paradigms of the doctor-patient relationship, one based on dialogue and persuasion (peithó), and the other on the imposition of authority. In particular, the latter model proves to be amply suited to illustrating, in various Greek literature texts – and first of all the political dialogues of Plato –, the relationship between those who hold political power and those subjected to it. Taking into account a famous passage in the Laws, which in a very effective diptych contrasts the doctor of the free and the doctor of slaves (IV 720a-…
Dire addio alla verità? Il ruolo dell'eikos nella polemica antisofistica.
2012
This paper deals with the concept of eikos, traditionally translated as “probability” or “likelihood". The aim is to show the complexity and the theoretical worth of this notion and, more specifically, the crucial role it plays in the Platonic attack against Sophists. The starting point is a famous passage of Phaedrus (272d-273a) where Socrates says that the speaker who follows eikos must "say goodbye to the truth”. However, this negative attitude towards eikos is not the only one possible. Indeed, in previous literature, and especially in historiography and rhetoric, eikos does not oppose itself to truth. Instead, despite its fallibility, it is a heuristic device that is extremely useful i…
Un etimo vichiano e il mito come categoria della ragione
1987
Il legame fra mito e logos nella "Scienza nuova" vichiana, problematizzato in relazione all'opposizione che Platone istituisce fra i due termini nel "Parmenide".
Ideas for using GeoGebra and Origami in Teaching Regular Polyhedrons Lessons
2018
The approach of combining GeoGebra and origami is well accepted among students in the school "Petro Kuzmjak" where it is used to teach geometry lessons. This article elaborates on how to introduce students (upper elementary and high school students, age 14-18) to Platonic solids and their properties through combination of GeoGebra and origami activities. Some of the important mathematical concepts related to these well-known geometrical solids can be explained to students applying hands-on activities along with educational software. peerReviewed
