Karl Popper: Metaphysics and epistemology
Sir Karl Popper (1902-1994) is one of the most controversial and widely read philosophers of the 20th century. Volume II deals with Popper's metaphysics and epistemology, including his proposal (critical rationalism) that it is through sharp criticism rather than through the provision of justification that our knowledge progresses.
Plants and vegetation of NW Ethiopia
Pichi Sermolli’s work with his more than 2750 collections of plants from nearly 150 localities on the Lake Tana expedition in Ethiopia in 1937 was interrupted by World War II, but completed in 1947 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the British Museum (Natural History), UK. It resulted in preliminary accounts of the vegetation published 1938-40 and a taxonomically arranged account in 1951, all in Italian. Pichi Sermolli’s observations are difficult to locate due to the imperfect maps of the time, but in this book the authors have reconstructed the sequence of the collections, georeferenced the localities, and updated the identifications of the species. By reconstructing Pichi Sermoll...
Words and visions around/about Chinese transnational mobilities 流动
This collection gathers the contributions of ten scholars on the topic of transnational cultural and physical mobility originating in China. These contributions aim to open conversations among Chinese Studies scholars by applying a Mobility Studies perspective. Exploring diverse narratives and forms of representation from people of Chinese heritage, the book is divided into three parts that each look closely at the relationship between movement and cultural production. The first part is dedicated to four types of mobility of people from China to Italy, namely tourist mobility (Miriam Castorina), labor mobility (Valentina Pedone), student mobility (Xu Hao), and mobility of social elites (Andrea Scibetta). The second part is dedicated to examples of reverse mobility from Italy to China (Gao Changxu, Chiara Lepri, Giuseppe Rizzuto). The third part focuses on case studies based on mobilities from China to territories other than Italy (Rebecca Ehrenwirth, Martina Renata Prosperi, Giulia Rampolla).
Rationalized and Extended Democracy
In this book, Giovanni Molteni Tagliabue asserts that the realization of the values and the implementation of the objectives as indicated in democratic constitutions (political, social rights and the people’s welfare) are hindered by structural defects of the legislative/government architecture and processes. Expertise and science have scarce say in politics and policy. The author suggests an innovative view through the ‘REDemo Project’. 1. Rationalization: the insertion of public scientists into legislative/executive mechanisms, with the creation in each democracy of a National Scientific Assembly – parallel to the extant partypolitical Chamber of Representatives – consisting of a...
Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Modernism
The book meticulously analyses the history of the critical reception of avantguard art through the interpretations received by one of its greatest emblems, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Picasso, 1907. Since Les Demoiselles has been considered over this century the true paradigm of Modern Art, this book is, fundamentally, a sort of synthesis of the discourses about Modernism from formalism, iconology, Leo Steinberg's 'Other Criteria’, sociological, the biographical and psychoanalytical theses, cultural and historicist and lastly, the impact of post-structuralism and the feminist, post-colonialist and transnational interpretations. The final chapter deals with the artistic versions of Les Demoiselles d'Avignonmade by artists. It is an essay on the different versions and identities of Modern Art and Modernism that have been produced throughout the last century.
Marketing contemporaneo
Scopri e applica ora i 9 principi del marketing per far crescere la tua impresa! Nel libro "Marketing contemporaneo" di Riccardo Del Bianco, il marketing diventa un'equazione dinamica, un'arte che si intreccia con il tempo, il know-how, i valori e l'azione. Riccardo, infatti, parla del marketing come un viaggio che abbraccia la trasformazione continua, in perenne mutazione. Queste pagine invitano a riflettere: il digitale, il metaverso e l'intelligenza artificiale diventeranno sempre di più parte integrante del marketing contemporaneo e apriranno nuove opportunità consentendo a ogni azienda e ad ognuno di noi di esprimere il proprio potenziale unico. “Contemporaneo” non è solo una par...
Crises (Staseis) and Changes (Metabolai)
This book aims to build a solid and proper contribution to the contemporary global debate on the experience of democracy and its possibilities as the most effective mediator of a series of challenges, a debate that is necessarily rooted in the critical reassessment of its Greek cultural heritage. The book is articulated around the identification of a concrete problem: the need for studies that critically discuss Athenian democracy, seen as a daily problem and practice, based on its staseis (crises) and metabolai (changes), and whose solutions and strategies may still contribute to the reflection on the social, intellectual and ethical-political challenges of contemporary democracy.
Eirene e Atena
Questa raccolta di saggi è stata concepita e realizzata da un gruppo di allievi di Umberto Gori, eminente rappresentante della prima generazione di studiosi di Relazioni internazionali in Italia, costantemente impegnato su molteplici fronti di ricerca – dalle organizzazioni internazionali alla teoria delle relazioni internazionali, dagli studi strategici all’analisi previsionale. Si è voluto dunque rendere onore alla sua brillante carriera raccogliendo gli scritti di quei suoi allievi che, a loro volta, si sono dedicati alla ricerca e all’insegnamento e che riconoscono un debito intellettuale nei suoi confronti. Il volume è organizzato attorno a tre temi generali, attinenti agli interessi di Gori: il sistema internazionale nella sua duplice articolazione tra competizione e collaborazione; la politica estera e la governance regionale; l’ordine internazionale contemporaneo.
