Book Description
Un pensiero tra i più raffinati del Novecento, quello di Hannah Arendt: pensatrice controversa le cui opere sono, oramai, da annoverarsi tra i grandi classici della filosofia. Dalla cupa ideologia dei totalitarismi alla concezione miracolosa del venire al mondo, passando per il suo gusto per i rinascimentali, questo volume riprende i temi forti delle sue opere maggiori e vuole essere un tentativo di rilettura prospettica degli scritti della teorica politica tedesca, nonché un modo di riproporla alle nuove generazioni quale interprete moderna dell’impegno civico, che chiama tutti, ancora oggi, all’agire responsabile e a una riscoperta della politica come occasione e spazio di libertà.

Book Description
International Relations and History were once academic fields sharing a common concern with the affairs of empires, states, and nations. Over the course of the twentieth century, however, they drifted apart. International Relations largely retained the focus on the affairs and relations of these principal international actors but took a methodological turn leading to higher levels of theoretical abstraction. History, on the other hand, retained the methods that define the discipline but shifted the focus, veering away from matters of state to the vast array of actors, events, activities, and issues that colour everyday life. In recent years, the drift has been arrested by scholars in each discipline who have turned towards the other discipline in their research. International Relations has undergone a 'historiographical turn' while History has taken an 'international turn'. Rise of the International brings together scholars of International Relations and History to capture the emergence and development of the thought, the relations, and the systems that have come to be called international in western discourse. The evidence offered by contributors to the volume suggests there has been no single, stable, unchanging concept or object of theoretical reflection or historical investigation that can be called 'the international', but a variety of historically contingent conceptualizations across different contexts.

Book Description
La condizione umana è soggetta a continui mutamenti, spesso tragici, e l’unica possibilità inventiva consiste nella capacità di provare stupore, nel porre domande in un atto di solidarietà tra esseri umani. In questo saggio, accompagnato da un’intervista concessa dall’autrice alla televisione tedesca nel 1964, Hannah Arendt affronta i temi più vicini alla sua indagine filosofica: dal totalitarismo alle trasformazioni che hanno sconvolto gli assetti mondiali nel corso dell’età contemporanea, dalla questione dell’esilio e dell’identità di un popolo fino a giungere alla lingua tedesca, vera e propria patria del linguaggio con la quale Arendt intrattiene un legame inestirpabile.

Book Description
Studies the philosophical implications of contemporary theories of conflict and proposes a new political ontology Sets out a description of the most influential theories of political conflict (Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser, Ernesto Laclau), as well as a critique of them from a Machiavellian point of view Provides a new interpretation of Niccolò Machiavelli’s thought as a political ontology Situates the argument in the recent debates about Italian Theory (Roberto Esposito, Antonio Negri, Giorgio Agamben) and political ontology (Oliver Marchart, Miguel Vatter, Yannis Stavrakakis, Chantal Mouffe, Ernesto Laclau) Offers a new theory of productive political conflict, which provides an innovative interpretation of the role of Machiavelli’s thought in opposition to the most influential contemporary political theories and in view of a new account of global political space The twentieth century was the century of the deconstruction of all absolutes: of liberation understood as a critique of every meaningful structure. In this sense, conflict was understood as an instrument of the rupture of every form, institution and community. Niccolò Machiavelli is the first in our tradition to think about the productivity of political conflict – its capacity, on the model of ancient Rome, to construct new orders, institutions and forms of life. Francesco Marchesi offers an original reading of Machiavellian thought as well as a critique of some of the most influential contemporary theories of conflict including Foucault, Schmitt, Arendt, Lacan and Althusser. In doing so, he proposes an innovative, conflictual political ontology that, with Machiavelli, is capable of conceiving the affirmative, and not only deconstructive, power of conflict.

Book Description
The European Union and the single currency have given Europe more stability than it has known in the past thousand years, yet Europe seems to be in perpetual crisis about its global role. The many European empires are now reduced to a multiplicity of ethnicities, traditions, and civilizations. Europe will never be One, but to survive as a union it will have to become a federation of “islands” both distinct and connected. Though drawing on philosophers of Europe’s past, Cacciari calls not to resist Europe’s sunset but to embrace it. Europe will have to open up to the possibility that in few generations new exiles and an unpredictable cultural hybridism will again change all we know about the European legacy. Though scarcely alive in today’s politics, the political unity of Europe is still a necessity, however impossible it seems to achieve.

Book Description
“Birth” could be the main concept of a philosophy of commencement: indeed, it is not only a biological event or an effective metaphor for new beginning, but also the sign that being, knowledge and action, born themselves, have the power to give birth to something. Birth is essentially that which has neither memory nor appropriation of itself: it is a destiny and a choice that confirms the features of necessity and freedom bound in every coming into the world. Thoughts about birth can be found, for example, in Arendt’s, Nietzsche’s and Vico’s works, as well as in the ancient and modern age, wherever the burden of the change has been felt. The concept of birth passes through contemporary philosophy which seeks to rebuild the historical framework of critical reflection.

Book Description
Aquello que incita a Hannah Arendt a escribir está vinculado con el intento, tenaz, por comprender el presente. El pensamiento, repite en diversas ocasiones, nace siempre en contacto con los acontecimientos. La exigencia de comprender la terrible novedad del presente constituye, justamente, el motivo por el cual Arendt siente la urgencia de confrontarse con la tradición de pensamiento político occidental. Explorar esa exigencia es el proyecto de este libro. Para ello, fueron convocados algunos de los grandes conocedores mundiales de la obra de Arendt: Fina Birulés, Simona Forti, À. Lorena Fuster, Martine Leibovici y Matías Sirczuk. Con estudios preparados especialmente para este volumen, ellos indagan las lecturas que Hannah Arendt hizo de las obras de Sócrates, de Montesquieu, de Kant, de Rousseau y de Marx. Estas diversas lecturas muestran el modo en que el surgimiento en el corazón de Europa de una nueva forma de dominación puso a Arendt en guardia respecto de una tradición que -desde sus inicios- se instituyó contra la escena plural de la política. "Podría decirse -señalan los editores del volumen- que es el fracaso de la tradición para dar cuenta del totalitarismo lo que le permitió volver sobre los textos del pasado, contar efectivamente una historia […] en la que aparece, bajo una nueva luz, la tensión entre el pensar y la política, entre la filosofía y el mundo plural de la ciudad."

Book Description
This volume explores challenges posed by plurality, as understood by Hannah Arendt, but also the opportunities it offers. It is an interdisciplinary collection of chapters, including contributions from different traditions of philosophy, political science, and history. The book offers novel perspectives on central issues in research on Arendt, reconfiguring the existing interpretations and reinforcing the line of interpretation illuminating the phenomenological facets of Arendt’s theory. The authors of the contributions to this volume decisively put the notion of plurality in the center of the collected interpretations, pointing out that plurality in its dialectic form of commonality, and difference is not only, as assumed by default, one of the most important notions in Arendt’s theory, but the very central one. At the same time, plurality is a central issue in many current debates, from populism and hate speech to migration and privacy. This collection therefore connects the theoretical advancements regarding Arendt and other political thinkers with some of the most pressing contemporary issues. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students from philosophy, political theory and related fields studying contemporary challenges of plurality as well as scholars interested in the work of Hannah Arendt.
