L'intento del testo è soprattutto quello di ricostruire l'unità del pensiero fenomenologico-ermeneutico, restituendo legami in grado di suggerire una direzione ad un panorama filosofico frastagliato e prospettico, riproponendo l'iniziale ispirazione che, sia pure "in nuce" e con esiti teorici alquanto differenziati, ha comunque caratterizzato originalmente una grande stagione filosofica, annettendo nuovi motivi al tradizionale quadro teorico (Husserl-Heidegger-Gadamer), come il rapporto tra Gadamer e Derrida e il debito fenomenologico di autori quali Levinas e lo stesso Derrida. Le indagini svolte e gli spunti provocati vorrebbero dimostrare l'importanza e l'attualità di una impostazione di pensiero che ha dovuto fare i conti, fino a considerarsi superata, con le nuove tendenze filosofiche impegnate a ribattere in modo parassitario i risultati delle scienze positive.

Vittorino da Feltre incarna l'immagine del pedagogo cristiano orientato a una formazione integrale degli allievi. Egli, non solo non tralascia la dimensione spirituale, ma ne fa il punto di forza e di sviluppo della persona. La testimonianza personale di Vittorino, la ricchezza del suo pensiero e la realizzazione della Ca' Zoiosa a Mantova, costituiscono una sfida per l'educazione contemporanea, che spesso rischia di essere concepita prevalentemente in funzione dell'apprendimento tecnico e pragmatico, trascurando le dimensioni spirituali e trascendenti della persona.
A music researcher's quest to discover other musical species. Even those of us who can't play a musical instrument or lack a sense of rhythm can perceive and enjoy music. Research shows that all humans possess the trait of musicality. We are a musical species—but are we the only musical species? Is our musical predisposition unique, like our linguistic ability? In The Evolving Animal Orchestra, Henkjan Honing embarks upon a quest to discover if humans share the trait of musicality with other animals. Charles Darwin believed that musicality was a capacity of all animals, human and nonhuman, with a clear biological basis. Taking this as his starting point, Honing—a music cognition research...
Review: "Unlike Machiavelli-inveterate dreamer and cynic-Guicciardini's mind is remarkable for the balance and masterly coolness of its judgment."-Federico Chabod "In the history of Renaissance thought, Guicciardini's Ricordi occupy a place of singular importance. Few works of the sixteenth century allow us so penetrating an insight into the views and sentiments of its author as these reflections of the great Italian historian. . . . Like Machiavelli's Prince, the Ricordi form one of the outstanding documents of a time of crisis and transition; but unlike the Prince, they range over a wide field of private as well as public life. In doing so, they revel the man as well as the political theorist."-Nicolai Rubenstein, from the Introduction.
This book has its roots in a series of collaborations in the last decade at the interface between statistical physics and cosmology. The speci?c problem which initiated this research was the study of the clustering properties of galaxies as revealed by large redshift surveys, a context in which concepts of modern statistical physics (e. g. scale-invariance, fractality. . ) ?nd ready application. In recent years we have considerably broadened the range of problems in cosmology which we have addressed, treating in particular more theoretical issues about the statistical properties of standard cosmological models. What is common to all this research, however, is that it is informed by a perspec...

This radical analysis of the role and importance of historiography interprets the philosophy and theory of history on the basis of historicity as a human condition. The book examins the norms and methods of historiography from a philosophical point of view, but rejects generalisations tht the philosophy of history can provide all the answers to contemporary problems. Instead it outlines a feasible theory of history which is still radical enough to apply to all social structures.
