Book Synopsis Philosophical Considerations on Contemporary Music by : Giacomo Fronzi
Download or read book Philosophical Considerations on Contemporary Music written by Giacomo Fronzi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The musical universe of the 20th and 21st centuries is a force-field in which styles, instruments, personalities and stories can be found that are ascribable to conceptual frameworks that may differ greatly one from another. Such complexity cannot be traced back to single theories or all-encompassing interpretations, but may be tackled, philosophically, starting from certain characteristics. This book identifies nine such characteristics: namely, Extremes, Noise, Silence, Technology, Audience, Listening, Freedom, Disintegration, and New Media. Each of these permits us to open up unforeseen philosophical-cultural paths and interpret, in its multifarious variety, the developments of contemporary music, profoundly interwoven with the history of thought, culture and society.
Download or read book Ethics of Writing written by Carlo Sini and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Carlo Sini, one of Italy's leading contemporary philosophers, brings American pragmatism to the Milan school of phenomenology. Appearing in English for the first time, this book explores the constitutive role of alphabetic writing in the emergence of dominant forms of knowledge in the Western world (philosophy, mathematics, science, and historiography). Taking stock of the contingent nature of what are held as logical truths, he offers an ethical framework for considering different ways of thinking about writing, focusing on possibilities involving "practice" as a basis for a renewal of theoretical philosophy. Such a framework, Sini argues, opens the door for more productive and ethical communication with non-Western cultures, and indeed for a reconsideration of forms of knowledge beyond mere writing.
Book Synopsis Political Theology and Early Modernity by : Graham Hammill
Download or read book Political Theology and Early Modernity written by Graham Hammill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political theology is a distinctly modern problem, one that takes shape in some of the most important theoretical writings of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. But its origins stem from the early modern period, in medieval iconographies of sacred kinship and the critique of traditional sovereignty mounted by Hobbes and Spinoza. In this book, Graham Hammill and Julia Reinhard Lupton assemble established and emerging scholars in early modern studies to examine the role played by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literature and thought in modern conceptions of political theology. Political Theology and Early Modernity explores texts by Shakespeare, Machiavelli, Milton, and others that have served as points of departure for such thinkers as Schmitt, Strauss, Benjamin, and Arendt. Written from a spectrum of positions ranging from renewed defenses of secularism to attempts to reconceive the religious character of collective life and literary experience, these essays probe moments of productive conflict, disavowal, and entanglement in politics and religion as they pass between early modern and modern scenes of thought. This stimulating collection is the first to answer not only how Renaissance and baroque literature help explain the persistence of political theology in modernity and postmodernity, but also how the reemergence of political theology as an intellectual and political problem deepens our understanding of the early modern period.--Publisher description.

Book Synopsis Images of the Economy of Nature, 1650-1930 by : Antonello La Vergata
Download or read book Images of the Economy of Nature, 1650-1930 written by Antonello La Vergata and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses ideas concerning the order and balance of nature (or "economy of nature") from the late 17th century to the early 20th century. The perspective taken is broad, longue durée and interdisciplinary, and reveals the interplay of scientific, philosophical, moral and social ideas. The story begins with natural theology (dating roughly to the onset of the so-called Newtonian Revolution) and ends with the First World War. The cut-off date has been chosen for the following reasons: the war changed the state of things, affecting man’s way of looking at, and relating to, nature both directly and indirectly; indeed, it put an end to most applications of Darwinism to society and history, including interpretations of war as a form of the struggle for existence. The author presents an overview of the different images of nature that were involved in these debates, especially in the late 19th century, when a large part of the scientific community paid lip service to ‘Darwinism’, while practically each expert felt free to interpret it in his own distinct way. The book also touches on the so-called ‘social Darwinism’, which was neither a real theory, nor a common body of ideas, and its various views of society and nature’s economy. Part of this book deals with the persistence of moralizing images of nature in the work of many authors. One of the main features of the book is its wealth of (detailed) quotations. In this way the author gives the reader the opportunity to see the original statements on which the author bases his discussion. The author privileges the analysis of different positions over a historiography offering a merely linear narrative based on general implications of ideas and theories. To revisit the concept of the so-called "Darwinian Revolution", we need to examine the various perspectives of scientists and others, their language and, so to speak, the lenses they used when reading "facts" and theories. The book ends with some general reflections on Darwin and Darwinisms (the plural is important) as a case study on the relationship between intellectual history, the history of science and contextual history. Written by a historian, this book really gives new, multidisciplinary perspectives on the "Darwinian Revolution."

Book Synopsis Beyond Beauty by : Federico Vercellone
Download or read book Beyond Beauty written by Federico Vercellone and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American abstract expressionist painter Barnett Newman famously declared in 1948 that the impulse of modern art is to destroy beauty. Not long after that, Andy Warhol was reconciling the world of art with the world of everyday life, painting soup cans and soda bottles. In this book, Federico Vercellone provides an account of the decline of beauty as a Platonic ideal from early German Romanticism to the twentieth century. He traces this intellectual trajectory from Goethe, Dilthey, and Nietzsche, through modernism and the avant-garde move ment, to the work of Adorno and Heidegger. Rather than the death or destruction of beauty, Vercellone argues instead that beauty in the twentieth century came back to live in reality and everyday life. He suggests this is a new edition of the classical ideal rather than an abandonment of it, and further makes the case for the ecological significance of this orientation and outlook.

Book excerpt: La vicenda - mentre a Roma si sta riunendo il conclave per l'elezione del nuovo papa - è ambientata ad Almeda, un paese immaginario della Sicilia occidentale, in un tempo ambiguo, in un'atmosfera percorsa dal senso della fine e del male. Un umile impiegato di provincia, Taddeo Medina, attore dilettante di sacre rappresentazioni, improvvisamente durante la recita del Mortorio impazzisce, un suo amico, Temistocle Gasdia, che interpreta Giuda muore sulla scena. Tre loro amici, appassionati come i primi di funerali, sotto la guida di uno dei tre, Vargas, si prendono cura del folle. Partendo da una strana lettera trovata nel copione del Gasdia, in un cui si parla di un Protocollo per l'elezione del papa, mentre si occupa con gli amici del folle Taddeo che progressivamente si trasforma in poeta musico e infine in maestro e profeta (tra gli altri, Lao-tzu, Confucio, Krishna, Milarepa, Padmasambhava, San Francesco, Ahmed, Salomone, Y.), Vargas indaga.

Book Synopsis The Nightwatches of Bonaventura by :
Download or read book The Nightwatches of Bonaventura written by and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in German in 1804, under the nom de plume “Bonaventura,” TheNightwatches of Bonaventura is a dark, twisted, and comic novel, one part Poe and one part Beckett. The narrator and antihero is not Bonaventura but a night watchman named Kreuzgang, a failed poet, actor, and puppeteer who claims to be the spawn of the devil himself. As a night watchman, Kreuzgang takes voyeuristic pleasure in spying on the follies of his fellow citizens, and every night he makes his rounds and stops to peer into a window or door, where he observes framed scenes of murder, despair, theft, romance, and other private activities. In his reactions, Kreuzgang is cynical and pessimistic, yet not without humor. For him, life is a grotesque, macabre, and base joke played by a mechanical and heartless force. Since its publication, fans have speculated on the novel’s authorship, and it is now believed to be by theater director August Klingemann, who first staged Goethe’s Faust. Organized into sixteen separate nightwatches, the sordid scenes glimpsed through parted curtains, framed by door chinks, and lit by candles and shadows anticipate the cinematic. A cross between the gothic and the romantic, The Nightwatches of Bonaventura is brilliant in its perverse intensity, presenting an inventory of human despair and disgust through the eyes of a bitter, sardonic watcher who draws laughter from tragedy. Translated by Gerald Gillespie, who supplies a fresh introduction, The Nightwatches of Bonaventura will be welcomed by a new generation of English-language fans eager to sample the night’s dark offerings.
