Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qual è il valore che oggi viene attribuito alla cultura classica? È vero, come sostengono in molti, che lo studio del greco antico e del latino sarebbe ormai del tutto inutile nelle società moderne, marcatamente orientate verso discipline e conoscenze di immediata utilità, e che il liceo classico dovrebbe essere abolito? Per molti secoli, dal Rinascimento ad almeno tutto l'Ottocento, le fonti classiche hanno svolto un ruolo chiave all'interno del pensiero europeo, come è testimoniato dai numerosissimi debiti linguistici di parecchie scienze nei confronti del greco antico. Per non parlare di concetti che sono considerati fondamentali per la nostra civiltà, come quelli di «contratto sociale» e «democrazia», attinti dalla cultura greca. Poi c'è stato uno strappo. Nel corso del Novecento la conoscenza del mondo classico si è via via indebolita, fin quasi a scomparire dagli studi superiori, soppiantata da un'evoluzione della cultura verso una collezione di saperi disgiunti che sembrano aver dimenticato le radici comuni, al punto da indulgere a derive irrazionalistiche. Lucio Russo, in questo saggio magistrale per chiarezza espositiva e solidità di argomentazione, mostra con una vasta gamma di esempi come il debito dell'Occidente verso le civiltà greca e romana sia di gran lunga superiore a quello usualmente riconosciuto, perché ha riguardato tutti gli aspetti della cultura e non solo - come vorrebbe un diffuso luogo comune - quelli oggi classificati come «umanistici» (pensiero politico, diritto, filosofia, arte, musica e letteratura). Spaziando dall'astronomia alla fisica, dalla geometria alla matematica, dalla geografia all'ottica, l'autore chiarisce infatti in modo inoppugnabile come la scienza europea abbia mutuato i suoi fondamenti epistemologici - i metodi dimostrativo e sperimentale - dallo studio dei pochi trattati ellenistici che ci sono pervenuti, in particolare le opere di Archimede e gli Elementi di Euclide. «La tesi principale del libro» scrive Russo «è che la cultura classica, se profondamente rivisitata, potrebbe assumere di nuovo, pur se in modo diverso, quel ruolo unificante svolto in passato e per il quale non è mai stato trovato un valido sostituto.»

Download or read book Book Was There written by Andrew Piper and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Piper grew up liking books and loving computers. While occasionally burying his nose in books, he was going to computer camp, programming his Radio Shack TRS-80, and playing Pong. His eventual love of reading made him a historian of the book and a connoisseur of print, but as a card-carrying member of the first digital generation—and the father of two digital natives—he understands that we live in electronic times. Book Was There is Piper’s surprising and always entertaining essay on reading in an e-reader world. Much ink has been spilled lamenting or championing the decline of printed books, but Piper shows that the rich history of reading itself offers unexpected clues to what lies in store for books, print or digital. From medieval manuscript books to today’s playable media and interactive urban fictions, Piper explores the manifold ways that physical media have shaped how we read, while also observing his own children as they face the struggles and triumphs of learning to read. In doing so, he uncovers the intimate connections we develop with our reading materials—how we hold them, look at them, share them, play with them, and even where we read them—and shows how reading is interwoven with our experiences in life. Piper reveals that reading’s many identities, past and present, on page and on screen, are the key to helping us understand the kind of reading we care about and how new technologies will—and will not—change old habits. Contending that our experience of reading belies naive generalizations about the future of books, Book Was There is an elegantly argued and thoroughly up-to-date tribute to the endurance of books in our ever-evolving digital world.

Download or read book "Ad Ingenii Acuitionem" written by Alfonso Maierù and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers presented in this volume in honour of Alfonso Maieru cover some of the major topics of his research area. The institutional and intellectual life of university training in the Middle Ages, including the peculiar tradition of related works, is the focus of the papers by Louis Jacques Bataillon, William J. Courtenay, Jacqueline Hamesse, Zenon Kaluza, Loris Sturlese and Olga Weijers. Three papers, by Jacopo Costa, Pasquale Porro and Thomas Ricklin, deal with philosophical problems in Dante'sMonarchia and Convivio. The complex interrelations between logic and the other main aspects of medieval philosophy, with a particular attention to theology, metaphysics and natural philosophy, are the core of the other papers by Stefano Caroti, Sten Ebbesen, Barbara Faes de Mottoni, Simo Knuuttila, Alain de Libera, Olga Lizzini, Costantino Marmo, Claude Panaccio, Ivan Bendwell, Irene Rosier-Catach, Lambert Marie de Rijk, Leonardo Sileo, Luisa Valente, and Albert Zimmermann. A larger number of friends and colleagues of Alfonso Maieru than those who appear as contributors and editors of this volume have warmly welcomed its publication. We could say, therefore, that it is absolutely contingent that the Editors are: Stefano Caroti (Universita degli Studi di Parma), Ruedi Imbach (Universite de Paris-Sorbonne), Zenon Kaluza (Centre d'Etudes des Religions du Livre, C.N.R.S), Loris Sturlese (Universita degli Studi di Lecce) and Giorgio Stabile(Universita degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza").

Download or read book Scalar Verb Classes : Scalarity, Thematic Roles, and Arguments in the Estonian Aspectual Lexicon written by Anne Tamm and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph discusses scalar verb classes. It tests theories of linguistic form and meaning, arguments and thematic roles, using Estonian data. The analyses help to understand the aspectual structure of Estonian. In Estonian, transitive verbs fall into aspectual classes based on the type of case-marking of objects and adjuncts. The book relates the morphosyntactic frames of verbs to properties typically associated with adjectives and nouns: scalarity and boundedness. Verbs are divided according to how their aspect is composed. Some verbs lexicalize a scale, which can be bounded either lexically or compositionally. Aspectual composition involves the unification of features. Compositionally derived structures differ according to which of the aspectually relevant dimensions are bounded.

Download or read book Heidegger and the Jews written by Donatella Di Cesare and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have long struggled to reconcile Martin Heidegger's involvement in Nazism with his status as one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. The recent publication of his Black Notebooks has reignited fierce debate on the subject. These thousand-odd pages of jotted observations profoundly challenge our image of the quiet philosopher's exile in the Black Forest, revealing the shocking extent of his anti-Semitism for the first time. For much of the philosophical community, the Black Notebooks have been either used to discredit Heidegger or seen as a bibliographical detail irrelevant to his thought. Yet, in this new book, renowned philosopher Donatella Di Cesare argues that Heidegger's "metaphysical anti-Semitism" was a central part of his philosophical project. Within the context of the Nuremberg race laws, Heidegger felt compelled to define Jewishness and its relationship to his concept of Being. Di Cesare shows that Heidegger saw the Jews as the agents of a modernity that had disfigured the spirit of the West. In a deeply disturbing extrapolation, he presented the Holocaust as both a means for the purification of Being and the Jews' own "self-destruction": a process of death on an industrialized scale that was the logical conclusion of the acceleration in technology they themselves had brought about. Situating Heidegger's anti-Semitism firmly within the context of his thought, this groundbreaking work will be essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy and history as well as the many readers interested in Heidegger's life, work, and legacy.
