CONGETTURE SU DIO SINGOLARITÀ, FINALISMO, POTENZA NELLA TEOLOGIA RAZIONALE DI NICOLA CUSANO
2014
Oggetto del libro è il concetto neoplatonico di contrazione dell’Uno (contractio nel suo duplice movimento di explicatio dell’uno nei molti e di complicatio, ossia di riconcentrazione dei molti nell’Uno) nella sua formulazione cusaniana. Esso intende mostrare come questa si disponga sotto il segno della congetturalità del sapere, cioè del carattere insuperabilmente ipotetico dell’interrogazione del senso dell’esperienza: nel congetturalismo cusaniano si riannoda e si rilancia, proiettandosi verso i suoi sviluppi in età moderna e contemporanea, l’antico e fecondo incontro del platonismo con lo scetticismo. La rivisitazione della filosofia cusaniana è condotta in un confronto ideale con Eriug…
L’idealismo trascendente tra Cusano e Leibniz
2013
I aim at demonstrating how both Nicholas of Cusa and Leibniz glean from the platonic school of thought the idealistic notion of ‘truth as expression’, orienting it towards the singularity of being. I will also reveal a second assumption derived from the philosophia perennis by both thinkers: the idea of philosophy as hypothetic and intersubjective undertaking. The theoretical results of this philosophical conceptualization are formulated in the name of the Possibility rather than in the name of Necessity. Under this shared perspective, Nicholas and Leibniz interpret the substantial forms (formae substantiales) as “unities without plurality”. It follows that the dialectic subjects can only b…
"Platonism", "Aristotelianism" and "Renaissancism" in Luca Pacioli's double-entry
2013
The famous Tractatus XI particularis de computis et scripturis of Luca Pacioli (1494) marked a critical passage in the history of Ragioneria because, for the first time, it has claimed an explicit co-presence of practical, technical and theoretical aspects. But, since Paciolo was primarily “mathematicus rarissimus” e “theologus insignis”, his main motivations towards the double-entry should probably be found on motivations and knowledge of metadisciplinary level, chronologically foregoing and perhaps logically pre-eminent compared to the disciplinary ones. Therefore this paper aims to investigate whether, beyond his own initiation, he has felt for this kind of writing such an interest to in…
Concepts and Concept Formation in Early Modern Philosophy
2013
The Renaissance witnessed a revival of ancient and Arabic philosophical traditions, such as Platonism, Skepticism and Averroism. Renaissance syncretism was especially influential at the universities in Northern Italy, where several scholars reinterpreted Medieval Latin conceptions of intelligible species. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, university teaching in most European universities was dominated by second scholasticism. Francisco Suarez was the most philosophically inventive, as well as most influential, among these early modern scholastics (1).
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…
