Filosofia, storia, letteratura
Per festeggiare i settant'anni di Fulvio Tessitore, i curatori di questo volume hanno pensato di chiedere a un piccolo, ma altamente rappresentativo, gruppo di "coetanei" accademici di scrivere un proprio contributo in cui si riconoscesse il loro stile, il loro metodo, i contenuti della loro ricerca e del loro studio: insomma quei connotati che hanno fatto degli autori di questo libro alcuni dei maggiori e più illustri esponenti della cultura umanistica italiana della seconda metà del Novecento e che ancora, agli esordi del nuovo secolo, continuano a offrire il loro autorevole e prezioso contributo allo sviluppo e al prestigio del sapere. Tra essi si annoverano alcuni dei più noti filosof...
Da Cuoco a Weber
Historicism is one of the main research fields of Fulvio Tessitore (see the important series of Contributions published for the Editions of History and Literature). In these two volumes, the author concentrates on Italian historicalism - from Cuoco to Cross, from De Sanctis to Leo Caetani - and then to his relationship with German Historismus, from Dilthey to Meinecke, from Cassirer to Auerbach.
Historicism and Fascism in Modern Italy
During the early decades of the twentieth century, Italy produced distinctive innovations in both the intellectual and political realms. On the one hand, Benedetto Croce (1866-1952) and Giovanni Gentile (1875-1944) spearheaded a radical rethinking of historicism and philosophical idealism that significantly reoriented Italian culture. On the other hand, the period witnessed the first rumblings of fascism. Assuming opposite sides, Gentile became the semi-official philosopher of fascism while Croce argued for a renewed liberalism based on 'absolute' historicism. In Historicism and Fascism in Modern Italy, David D. Roberts uses the ideological conflict between Croce and Gentile as a basis for a...
The Social City
In the post-war period, Berlin and Naples experienced a phase of profound changes, essentially influenced by external factors: the less rigid urban structure which had been ruined by World War II, resulting in severe changes in the social and economic structure, an uncritical reception and implementation of largely theoretical models of functionalism in urban planning, and in the design of the new public building interventions. On the one hand, between the 1940s and the 1980s, Berlin experienced a considerable loss in population, a political isolation and an urban splitting, as the urban planning institutions, deeply influenced by relevant politics, slowly and thoroughly changed the cityscap...
Voglio morire! Suicide in Italian Literature, Culture, and Society 1789-1919
The theme of suicide was of paramount importance in Italy in the long nineteenth century, from the French revolution to the outbreak of World War I. A number of writers, intellectuals, politicians, and artists wrote about suicide, and a very high number of people killed themselves, for several reasons. There were suicides for love and for homeland, suicides for despair, and suicides for ennui. In Italy, once a very traditional, Catholic country, where suicide was very uncommon and rarely treated as a subject of moral theology or literature, it suddenly became extremely widespread. This book provides the first interdisciplinary account of this phenomenon, taken from several angles, including literature, the arts, politics, society, and philosophy, as well as sociology. Its authors rank among the best international specialists on suicide, and the figures dealt with include major intellectuals and writers such as Ugo Foscolo, Emilio Salgari, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Giacomo Leopardi and Carlo Michelstaedter.
Passeggiando per la Federico II
La seconda edizione aggiornata del volume, realizzata in italiano e in inglese, ha la finalità di far conoscere l’incidenza e l’importanza delle differenti sedi dell’Università Federico II tanto nel contesto urbano dell’area metropolitana di Napoli quanto in quello regionale.
