Book Description
Questo libro si presenta come un ausilio alla lettura dell'opera maggiore di Schopenhauer. Ma il lettore si rende conto ben presto che l'autore percorre un sentiero interpretativo il cui punto focale non è più il "pessimismo" - ma piuttosto il "naturalismo", ovvero l'interesse per la natura come una totalità in cui l'uomo stesso è profondamente immerso - una totalità armoniosa, che è simbolicamente rappresentata, in ambito musicale, dalla triade consonantica. Certo, in Schopenhauer, la partecipazione dell'uomo a questa totalità è ricca di difficoltà - nella natura non vi è solo armonia, ma anche "fame inappagata", desiderio inestinguibile: in questo libro si tenta di penetrare in questa difficile dialettica cercando di introdurre ai problemi che essa solleva. Come Appendice è stata inclusa una guida alla lettura della prima edizione della "Quadruplice radice del principio di ragione sufficiente", che in realtà precede il "Mondo" e ne fornisce i presupposti teorici.

Book Description
Why should we wonder about man and the human sense? What are the questions and answers we are seeking? Why should we read the work of Werner Sombart? Or rather, why should we re-read “this” Sombart? This book tracks the human sense in order to rediscover this compass against the current crisis of the humanistic conception of society. This crisis is manifest in a repositioning of society, which is no longer human by definition, in contrast to the past, when the term “human society” was a tautology and redundant. As such, the human element of society must be rediscovered. This book revitalizes the scientific sense of the human, which is almost anesthetized, often frustrated and belittled, sometimes confused and mistaken with something else, frequently misunderstood and made unrecognizable, but, precisely for this reason, which is increasingly essential today.

Book Description
Aesthetics deals with art, a human construction, but what one experiences when placed before nature is also an aesthetic feeling - the countryside is a place of reflection like no other. In The Art of the Landscape, Raffaele Milani interprets natural landscapes as an aesthetic category. Drawing from philosophical traditions, literature, and art, he calls the reader's attention to a special consciousness, originally established during the pre-Romantic age, that has become a distinctive feature of contemporary spirituality. Focusing on the definition of landscapes in relation to the concepts of nature, environment, territory, and man-made settings such as gardens and cities, Milani examines the origins of the predilection for natural scenery in the works of landscape painters and in travel literature. He addresses the distinctness of the aesthetic experience of landscapes, analyses the role of aesthetic categories, and explores landscape art as a medium of contemplation. What emerges is an original morphology of natural beauty derived from the scrutiny of landscape elements most frequently associated with aesthetic emotion - the colour of water and the sky, earth and stones, fire and volcanic eruptions, ruins and the mountains - an analysis especially relevant given the increasing fragility of our natural environment.

Book Description
The past few years have witnessed a growing academic interest in Italian Studies and an increasing number of symposia and scholarly activities. This volume originates from the Society for Italian Studies Postgraduate Colloquia that took place at the University of Leicester and Cambridge in June 2004 and April 2005 respectively. It gathers together articles by young researchers working on various aspects of Italian Studies. It well illustrates current trends in both typical areas of research, like literature and 'high culture', and in those which have gained momentum in recent years, like translation and language studies. The volume offers a taste of the dynamic outlook of current research in Italian Studies: the interdisciplinary approach of the essays in translation and gender studies, and the innovative methodological perspectives and findings offered by the new fields of Italian L2 and ethnography. The book is divided into three sections, each grouping contributions by broad subject areas: literature and culture, translation and gender studies, language and linguistics. Cross-fertilizations and interdisciplinary research emerge from several essays and the coherent ensemble constitutes an example of the far-reaching results achieved by current research.

Book Description
Carne, sangue, acciaio, plastica e tutti i materiali possibili e immaginabili: non solo, il mondo è fatto anche di idee. A volte, un'idea può cambiare il mondo. Non è un'ipotesi: è un dato di fatto. Ci sono idee che, come le stelle in cielo, illuminano la Terra per epoche intere. Come le stelle, le idee ogni tanto tramontano, e non è detto che, prima di scomparire per sempre, diventino nefasti buchi neri. Le idee possono salvare, ma anche uccidere.Il Sognatore del «Mondo vero» parte dall'idea che per Sigmund Freud sia possibile, sulla base della metodologia scientifica, arrivare a una Visione del mondo razionale, coerente, libera da millenarie illusioni. Ma la psicoanalisi può e deve essere ritenuta a tutti gli effetti -- scienza? Domanda di capitale importanza, se si pensa che il banco di prova sperimentale della verità della psicoanalisi sono i suoi pazienti, donne e uomini in carne e ossa...Un viaggio alle sorgenti del pensiero freudiano, alla luce di un'unica parola, antica quanto l'uomo: "libertà".

Book Description
This volume collects 12 essays by various contributors on the subject of the importance and influence of Schopenhauer’s doctoral dissertation (On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason) for both Schopenhauer’s more well-known philosophy and the ongoing discussion of the subject of the principle of sufficient reason. The contributions deal with the historical context of Schopenhauer’s reflections, their relationship to (transcendental) idealism, the insights they hold for Schopenhauer’s views of consciousness and sensation, and how they illuminate Schopenhauer’s theory of action. This is the first full-length, English volume on Schopenhauer’s Fourfold Root and its relevance for Schopenhauer’s philosophy. The thought-provoking essays collected in this volume will undoubtedly enrich the burgeoning field of Schopenhauer-studies.

Book Description
This book provides a detailed reconstruction of the origins of Schopenhauer's philosophy and its inherent aporias. It is divided into four parts. The first section delves into the pietistic upbringing of young Schopenhauer and his introduction to philosophy through the teachings of G.E. Schulze, as well as his study of Plato, Schelling, and Kant. Faced with the "negative" outcomes of Kant's criticism, particularly the unknowability of the thing-in-itself, young Schopenhauer initially engaged with Fichte and Schelling (this is covered in the second part of the volume). However, Schopenhauer formed the opinion that these two philosophers, instead of upholding and expanding upon Kant's ideas, ultimately diverge from them. That notwithstanding, he implicitly inherited certain pivotal concepts from Fichte and Schelling. The third part explores Schopenhauer's initial endeavor to formulate a new metaphysics after Kant, known as the theory of "better consciousness." In the fourth part, the book demonstrates how the internal contradictions within that theory and Schopenhauer's transformative encounter with Indian wisdom (Hinduism and Buddhism) lead him to abandon his first attempt at a system and develop his metaphysics of will. The last and most substantial chapter of the book focuses on the author's analysis of the inherent aporias within Schopenhauer's mature system, approaching them from a genetic perspective.
