La sociedad como voluntad y representación: la teoría de la sociedad en la eudemonología schopenhaueriana

2012

Resumen: En este artículo me ocupo de la teoría de la sociedad que Schopenhauer presenta en sus Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit. En primer lugar, intento desarrollar la articulación de estos aforismos con el resto de su filosofía, de modo que analizo la génesis de la eudemonología especialmente en los manuscritos póstumos de 1826-1830. A continuación, utilizo la distinción entre voluntad y representación como herramienta hermenéutica para la interpretación de la teoría social de Schopenhauer: en el caso de la sociedad como representación, destaco la crítica schopenhaueriana del honor y sus implicaciones para la teoría de la sociedad y en el caso de la sociedad como voluntad, me centro en los …

Journalismus aus erzähltheoretischer Perspektive

2018

The essay demonstrates how the narratological theories developed in the field of literary studies can accomplish a better comprehension of journalistic narratives. As they have to accommodate the principles of journalism, these narratives have to be true, topical and impartial. From this point of view storytelling and the inverted-pyramid principle prove themselves as two complementary approaches of journalistic narration, whose stories are all constructed on the basis of real world occurrences and the ideologies of the diverse societies. Storytelling is enabling the communication of individual experience and the inverted-pyramid principle is supporting the narrative construction of future-…

Frank H. Knight on Social Values in Economic Consumption. An Archival Note

2020

This note reproduces an unpublished paper on "Social Values in Economic Consumption" which Knight prepared for the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) Summer Conference, on Nantucket, Massachusetts in June 1931. This paper sheds new light on Knight in two important respects. First, it presents, in a more systematic fashion, Knight’s criticism of what he perceived to be the then standard theory of consumption. Specifically, Knight argued that an individual's consumption is dictated more by his income in relation to others than by mere utility maximization — a notion now commonly known as relative income hypothesis. In this connection, Knight also pointed out that a general increase in inc…

Rhetorical Criticism as an Advanced Literacy Practice: A Report on a Pilot Training

2015

This paper sets out to advance the notion of critical literacy in view of the growing shortage of critical analytic skills even among college students. Critical literacy is defined as a disposition for critical reflection and critical practice. It is employed in the academic context in the systematic interrogation of discursive practices which are sometimes ideologically motivated. Being skilled at critiquing in the advanced EFL context is derivative of a certain general level of critical literacy. It is claimed here that this can be attained through introducing students to categories and procedures of the main rhetorical traditions: neo-Aristotelian rhetoric, the New Rhetoric and Burkean d…

Le riflessioni di Poggi e Baratono su Marx e Kant

2020

Viene presa in esame la stretta relazione esistente tra la filosofia pratica di Kant e il materialismo storico di Marx nell’ampio e complesso contesto della cultura determinatasi in Europa a cavaliere dei secoli XIX e XX. A tale scopo, non si può trascurare l’analisi di quanti hanno rimarcato la stretta relazione tra la filosofia critica di Kant e il materialismo storico di Marx. In tal senso la memoria conduce immediatamente e in primo luogo alla chiave di lettura offerta da Alfredo Poggi ad inizio del Novecento. La linea interpretativa di Poggi fu in seguito ripresa da Adelchi Baratono, così come si può riscontrare sulle pagine de «La Critica Sociale» degli anni intorno al 1920.

Scritture dimenticate, scritture colonizzate: sistemi grafici e codifiche digitali

2020

L'articolo discute due esempi di come le attuali tecnologie di codifica digitale rappresentino in modo errato gli script non occidentali, in particolare i sistemi grafici dell'India (Devánāgarī) e del Medio Oriente (arabo). Le codifiche digitali come Unicode ereditano tre rigidi principi dalla stampa: (A) 1 ↔ 1, un grafema corrisponde a una lettera; (B) 1 = 1, tutti i grafemi (es. Vocali, consonanti) hanno lo stesso stato; (C) 1, 2, 3…, la scrittura è una sequenza di elementi tutti sullo stesso "livello". Questi principi, tuttavia, non si applicavano ai sistemi grafici europei medievali scritti a mano e non si applicano oggi a quelli non occidentali, compresa la loro versione stampata. In D…

Ethical Assumptions: A Criticism against Modern Pragmatism

2016

The advent of neoliberalism in the early 1970s marked a new age for ethical practices. Although pragmatism as an approach to ethics pre-dated neoliberalism, the neoliberal approach to political economy ushered in a new kind of pragmatism, owing little to Jeremy Bentham, even less to the American philosophical pragmatists Charles S. Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. Today’s pragmatism has permeated the penal systems of the central countries of the world capitalist system. A new ethics emerged, a neopragmatism. Acts came to be judged by their effects and not by the motives that led to the actions. This altered the doctrine of Abrahamic religions, and led to the disappearance of forgivene…
