Roma pagana, Roma cristiana, Roma nostra : l'urbe nella cultura umanistica polacca

2014

Rome was a crucial point of reference for the culture which was developing in the Polish State. An important role played the fascination with antiąuity and the attachment to Christian values inseparably linked to Rome. One of the examples, among others, was the creation of legendary stories about the relations between the aristocratic families of Poland and Lithuania and the Roman families front the Empire times. The conviction of the Polish nations mission becomes a cultural and morał means of civilization achievements having Rome in its centre.

La "normatività" tra etica e metafisica

2017

The Author’s aim is to highlight the limits of monist metaphysics which underpin the paradigm of Secular Humanism. In fact, all forms of monism consider good and evil either as internal momentums to the logic of development of the world, or as mere illusions within the evolutionary process. Can tragedies as the Holocaust be interpreted by such a monistic approach? The distinction between ‘polar opposition’ and ‘logic of contradiction’ is introduced by Romano Guardini. This is based on a creationistic metaphysic and it is useful to show that our practical-moral investigation is legitimated only by a theist approach. By considering good and evil as two aspect with mutual implications, monisti…

Filosofia come design concettuale. Mari e Floridi: etica, physis e techné nell’infosfera

2022

Partendo da una rilettura di 25 modi per piantare un chiodo di Enzo Mari - e in generale della sua poetica - il contributo prova e mettere in evidenza alcune riflessioni che oggi, come allora, alimentano il dibattito contemporaneo sul design, sulla socio-tecnosfera e in generale sull’uomo e il suo habitat. Passando in rassegna alcuni suoi racconti e microstorie autobiografiche, discussioni teoriche o esempi concreti, è possibile rintracciare una serie di questioni chiave e linee di pensiero che, trascendendo i confini strettamente disciplinari, approdano a riflessioni di più ampio respiro di carattere etico e filosofico. Tali questioni, nella presente trattazione, sono messe in serrata conn…

Widerspruch als konstitutives Element der Wissensvermittlung in literarischen Texten des späten 16. Jahrhunderts

2019

In the second half of the sixteenth century, the transfer of knowledge is a con- flict situation: on the one hand, there is a generalised thirst for knowledge but, on the other, a fear of the circulation of new ideas on the part of both the secular and religious authorities. This was especially the case with regard to informa- tion related to the areas of medicine, astronomy, and alchemy-magic which was banned or censored. This paper argues that many authors relied on a Poetics of Contradiction in order to be able to transmit this information. Despite appa- rently opposing statements or thanks to their apparent opposition, they trans- mitted a meaningful message and allowed attentive, eliti…

Transumanesimo e postumanesimo alla luce della plasticità

2019

Postumanesimo e transumanesimo condividono la stessa idea: l’“uomo di oggi” è l’anticipazione di qualcosa di nuovo. I promotori di tali movimenti teorici sono convinti che la farmacologia, la nanotecnologia, la manipolazione genetica e le tecno-scienze plasmeranno una nuova umanità. L’essere umano si caratterizza, infatti, per un’elevata plasticità, concetto analizzato dalla pensatrice francese Catherine Malabou e che indica l’attitudine a dare e ricevere forma. Nella presente trattazione ci proponiamo di chiarire perché il principio di variazione plastica rappresenti il campo di battaglia fra la prospettiva teorica umanista e quella postumanista e, in secondo luogo, di delineare il diverso…

The Challenges and Opportunities of Human Technology

2005

Technology is for human use. It is designed to satisfy some human needs and to aid people in reaching their goals. Technology, therefore, is a part of human activities and, for this reason alone, it should always be considered within the context of human life, the human experience. This basic credo forms the foundation for the concept of human technology. Instead of seeing technology as a construction following the laws of nature, the challenge of human technology is to explore and understand how humanist and social research can contribute to the conceptualization and implementation of technology.

Les juristes des années 30 et la question des droits du réalisateur d’oeuvres cinématographiques : une approche juridico-historique, à travers l’exem…

2017

La question de la paternité des oeuvres cinématographiques a été souvent débattue au cours des années 30. Elle fournit aujourd’hui encore au juriste et à l’historien de l’art une illustration particulièrement intéressante de la difficulté pour le droit d’appréhender ce qui fait l’essence d’une expression artistique spécifique, comme le cinéma, et en conséquence d’en déterminer les auteurs. Avant la loi de 1957, qui a reconnu la paternité du metteur en scène, la tendance jurisprudentielle était nettement en faveur de la thèse du producteur comme auteur ou coauteur du film. Les raisons à cet état des choses sont diverses, la principale étant la place centrale du producteur dans l’« entreprise…
