Being Opposite. On the translation of antikeimena in Aristotle's De anima
2012
The main concern of this article is the interpretation of De Anima II.4 415a14-23, and the particular way by which it is generally translated by modern editors. Almost all modern translations adopt the two locutions - \emph{objects} and \emph{correlative objects} - to translate the Greek word \antikeimena. But this choice is not neutral, nor it is without consequences for the understanding of the text.
Prote Hyle. Notions of Matter in the Platonic and Aristotelian Traditions
2017
How do we experience matter? Does it present itself to the senses? Or is it only an empty substratum that cannot be grasped if deprived of all sensible qualities? Is it perceived as a continuum, or rather intellectually reconstructed through mental and logical forms? Or is it that the very idea of a continuum is itself the outcome of mental abstraction? The nature of matter has been a central issue for philosophy since its inception. The constant oscillation of ancient thought between ma er as indeterminateness that does not have a concept and does not even properly exist - and matter as a principle that allows one to think plurality and otherness, that reaches even into the realm of the in…
Obiecta, opposita, antikeimena nel De anima di Aristotele
2012
The word antikéimena is often translated by modern editors of De anima with the expression "correlative objects", rather than as "opposites". The aim of this paper is to present some arguments against this translation, insomuch as it disregards the link established with the concept of opposition between De anima and the Aristotelian theory of motion and change.
Bertrand Russell e la filosofia dell'atomismo logico
2019
1903 was a particularly significant year for the history of European culture, both in term of the history of scientific thought and the history of philosophical thought. At Trinity College in Cambridge, George Edward Moore published the article The Refutation of Idealism in «Mind» magazine, while Bertrand Russell published The Principles of Mathematics. With these two works, besides discarding the mainstream neo-idealism in Great Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century, Moore and Russell promoted the new current of neo-positivism, from which logical empiricism and the socalled “scientific philosophy” was to be derived and cultivated within the Vienna Circle and the Berlin C…
Nowist Time: quando l'accelerazione supera il tempo
2019
12 marzo 1989, CERN di Ginevra – Tim Berners-Lee presenta al suo supervisore la prima idea del World Wide Web elaborata grazie all’osservazione della modalità di trasmissione di informazioni tramite video adoperato da ricercatori italiani che lavoravano con lui. Meno di vent’anni dopo, nel 2005, Zygmunt Bauman, esaminando la società post-moderna, mette in evidenza come sia cambiata la temporalità in un mondo che definisce «liquido». Alla ricerca perenne di allungare sempre più possibile il presente per riempirlo di esperienze della durata sempre più labile, l’uomo perde il desiderio dell’eternità. Ciò che conta per l’uomo dalla vita liquida non è la durata, ma la velocità a cui riesce a com…

Balconi, veli e schermi. Come il panorama contemporaneo affonda il paesaggio antico
2021
The article puts in a sequence the ideas of wall, picture, frame, window, veil, screen and balcony in order to describe the process of "close range" spectacularisation whereby the gaze gives up the ancient landscape because it loves too much the modernity of "panorama".
