Diese Sammlung bereits veröffentlichter Aufsätze – von denen einige erweitert und überarbeitet wurden – bietet eine nachhaltige Analyse der konzeptuellen Verbindungen zwischen der Metaphysik und Erkenntnistheorie des Parmenides und entsprechenden Motiven in den Philosophien anderer Vorsokratiker. Der zentrale Teil des Buches untersucht, wie die frühen Philosophen Griechenlands nach und nach für die Bedeutung von Begriffen wie "Form", "Typ", "Struktur", "Anordnung" sensibilisiert wurden. Diese Entwicklung hat sich vor allem deshalb vollzogen, weil derartige Konzepte, die Pluralität und Differenzierung importieren, für Parmenides von Natur aus problematisch sind. Der zentrale Teil des Buches kann daher als Bericht über die "Entdeckung der Form" in der frühen griechischen Philosophie gelesen werden
The book focuses on philosophical research on children, explaining how their main interests, curiosity, discoveries, creativity, wonder, surprises are basic factors and essential requisites to build their philosophical knowledge. The book documents a large number of experimental sessions accomplished since 1996 in Italian primary schools by Mirella Napodano, who designed new methods for philosophical learning and training with children. Her didactic method is based on peer education through cooperative dialogue and it is made of three modules: A) The speculative way: Alice in wonderland; B) The way of identity: Alice through the mirror; C) The way of friendship: I care. The book contains a selection of literary pieces, fairy tales, stories, classic myths, Jewish midrash. They are recommended for their philosophical significance, but teachers are free to choose topics and contents of their sessions according to their preferences and pupils interests.
Explores Herodotus' Histories in dialogue with contemporary philosophical debates. Combining close readings, reader reception, and genre studies, it expands our understanding of Herodotus' context and restores the Histories' place in Presocratic thought. In addition, the book elucidates philosophy's subsequent engagement with Herodotus' Histories.
The book is composed of several articles that explore complexity in its most varied aspects. The solution of contemporary problems, whatever they may be, requires a multifaceted vision, far beyond the reductionist perspective. The study of complex systems, however, does not have the capacity to offer ready answers to the challenges of humanity. On the contrary, it points to the increase in uncertainty, the need to control variables, and uncertainty. This does not mean, therefore, that we should simply ignore the social, economic, and political phenomena that are all around us. What this book demonstrates is the importance of knowledge being disseminated, and it is imperative that different sciences exchange ideas, theories, and breakthroughs.

An original and provocative book that illuminates the origins of philosophy in ancient Greece by revealing the surprising early meanings of the word "philosopher" Calling Philosophers Names provides a groundbreaking account of the origins of the term philosophos or "philosopher" in ancient Greece. Tracing the evolution of the word's meaning over its first two centuries, Christopher Moore shows how it first referred to aspiring political sages and advice-givers, then to avid conversationalists about virtue, and finally to investigators who focused on the scope and conditions of those conversations. Questioning the familiar view that philosophers from the beginning "loved wisdom" or merely "cu...
This book collects some of the works presented at ATEE Florence Spring Conference 2020-2021. The Conference, originally planned for May 2020, was forcefully postponed due to the dramatic insurgence of the pandemic. Despite the difficulties in this period, the Organising Committee decided anyway to keep it, although online and more than one year later, not to disperse the huge work of authors, mainly teachers, who had to face one of the hardest challenges in the last decades, in a historic period where the promotion of social justice and equal opportunities – through digital technologies and beyond – is a key factor for democratic citizenship in our societies. The Organising Committee, the University of Florence, and ATEE wish to warmly thank all the authors for their commitment and understanding, which ensured the success of the Conference. We hope this book could be, not only a witness of these pandemic times, but a hopeful sign for an equal and inclusive education in all countries.
The Parmenidean Ascent is a full-throated and wide-ranging defense of an extreme form of monism or the denial of all distinctions, a form of monism rarely seen since the time of the pre-Socratic philosopher, Parmenides. At once historically sensitive and deeply engaged with trends in recent and contemporary metaphysics, philosophy of action, epistemology, and philosophy of language, The Parmenidean Ascent aims, on rationalist grounds and in a skeptical spirit, to challenge the content of-and to overturn the methods of much of contemporary philosophy.
Ci controllano? Ci manipolano? Scie chimiche? Big Pharma? Nuovo Ordine Mondiale?Il complottismo è tornato in auge negli ultimi anni tra guerre e pandemie, sia nel quotidiano delle discussioni tra parenti che nelle cronache politiche. Il saggio analizza il complottismo in modo originale, partendo dal fallimento del dibattito odierno, troppo ancorato a una definizione liberale di teoria del complotto e all’idea che si possa risolvere il problema in maniera superficiale e individuale con gli strumenti della rieducazione cognitiva e del fact-checking. Questo libro cerca invece le cause del complottismo non tanto e non solo nella mente degli esseri umani, ma nelle caratteristiche del potere de...
