Pascal e la ritrattazione dell'amore: questioni aperte. Repliche ai miei critici
2022
The author elaborates many of the issues dealt with in her book "La filosofia in fiamme. Saggio su Pascal" in the light of the questions and objections of her readers, focusing in particular on the concepts of "Repetition of Metaphysics", "Hidden God", of "Third Order", of "Relationship between Heart and Reason".
Éros et Alétheia
2021
Dailleurs, la Révélation highlights a decisive distinction between the concept of aletheia, which is neutral and does not involve the will, and that of apokalypsis, the logic of which attests to the primacy of the wil which chooses because it loves and, in doing so, discovers the lover in the subject. Playing Christian truth against Greek truth, this distinction allows to think afresh about the truth of the Grecks, to the point of recognising exemplary cases of overflowing in which aletheia shows more than we would expect of it, and where the effects of apokalypsis are verified in aletheia itselt. Reversing the current pattern, the hermeneutics from which this distinction stems requires an …
Could Themis be the Deity who «Steers» Parmenides’ Cosmos?
2021
In this paper I will investigate the identity of the daímōn introduced by Parmenides in B12, 3 DK, the deity “who steers all things”. The importance of this deity is not adequately reflected in ancient doxography but in recent decades many scholars have reconsidered its role. I argue that in Parmenides’ poem this daímōn may play a relevant role in connecting the theological, ontological and cosmological planes. My purpose is to provide enough arguments for the hypothesis that the daímōn may be the same goddess, Themis, who in the proem (B1, 28) is paired with Dike as a guide for Parmenides to the theá who will reveal to him the truth of tò eón, and in the part of the poem called alḗtheia (B…
La Geografia della costa siciliana tra minacce e opportunità. Casi di studio
2017
La presenza della costa ha sempre rappresentato un elemento di attrazione per l’elezione e lo sviluppo di un sito. È noto come le diverse opportunità date dalla presenza del mare - in termini di commercio, trasporto, difesa, risorse alimentari e non solo - abbiano spesso determinato il successo di molti insediamenti. Nel tempo la costa ha smesso di essere considerata semplicemente un confine fisico al processo di urbanizzazione, ma ha guadagnato un ruolo fondamentale nella caratterizzazione del paesaggio di una città o, in generale di un territorio, divenendo lo specchio del grado di sviluppo e di “salute” del territorio medesimo. Le funzioni della costa si sono dunque evolute e il tema del…
Mafia e Antimafia
2005
Le dimissioni degli imprenditori Costanzo e Cascio – seduti nei Consigli di Amministrazione di alcune società con gli eredi di Bontate e Teresi – dalle rispettive cariche di presidente di Confindustria Sicilia e di Confindustria Palermo, tornano a riproporre il problema della chiara identificabilità delle infiltrazioni mafiose all’interno del tessuto economico e produttivo dell’Isola e dell’intero Paese. Si tratta di un problema antico e di difficile soluzione; una questione che nel tempo ha contribuito a inaridire il tessuto imprenditoriale siciliano e che ancora oggi disincentiva gli investimenti e l’intrapresa economica. Il potenziale investitore, infatti, deve confrontarsi con la pervas…
Coupling a hydro-maritime model and remotely sensed techniques to assess the shoreline positioning uncertainty: the Marsala coast study case
2010
The severe erosion phenomena affecting the Mediterranean coasts are strictly related to geophysical characteristics and socio-economic pressures. This suggests the need of monitoring and modelling the phenomenon in order to quantify its strength. In fact, the shoreline position, as well as its temporal evolution, provides important information for designing defence structures and for the development of a coastal management plan. The shoreline has a dynamic nature as it changes both in the short and long period. Those changes are caused by geo-morphological (e.g. bars and barrier island development etc.) and hydrodynamic (wave motion, tides and flows) processes, as well as by sudden and fast…
Shortage of Sediments in the Maspalomas Dune Field (Gran Canaria, Canary Islands) Deduced from Analysis of Aerial Photographs, Foraminiferal Content,…
2007
Abstract The Maspalomas dune field and adjacent beaches are the most extensive coastal sedimentary environment on the island of Gran Canaria. This area is very important from both a natural and an economic perspective. The analysis of aerial photographs and satellite images from recent decades does not show important shoreline changes for the El Ingles and Maspalomas beaches, which can be considered, consequently, in a state of equilibrium. However, the Maspalomas dune field presents several modifications, such as aeolian corridors associated with beach kiosks, a significant reduction in thickness of the aeolian deposits, and an increase of deflation areas in the underlying substratum. All …
Coastal erosion in the archaeological area of Selinunte
2010
Coast erosion is a widespread phenomenon and is a considerable issue for the dwellers of coastal areas today. Our study is based on the archaeological area of Selinunte in which we have noticed a process of erosion in progress. In this area we have considered a particular portion of the coast, around 8 km long, since our purpose is the individuation of anthropic elements such as ports, and natural elements, such as rivers. In this area we have set some point of reference using historical and recent cartography in a 1:25.000 scale dating back to 1971, a regional technical paper in a 1: 10.000 scale from 1994, and aerial pictures from 2000 and 2008, all of which we have geo-related starting f…
