For a long time, the philosophically difficult topic of religious experience has been on the sidelines of phenomenological research (with a notable exception of Anthony Steinbock, who focused on mysticism). The book The Problem of Religious Experience: Case Studies in Phenomenology, with Reflections and Commentaries brings together preeminent as well as emerging voices in the field, with fresh views on the topic. Originating from dialogues of the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience, these two volumes cover a spectrum of phenomenological approaches, with a thematization of the field in the form of case studies. Contributions from theology, comparative religion, psychology an...
Heidegger’s philosophy has an extraordinarily complex relationship to Plato. Heidegger sees Plato as the founder of that Western metaphysics which he claims should be overcome. However, his interpretation of Plato, upon which his reconstruction of the history of philosophy rests, is anything but incontestable from a philological point of view, and has generated much criticism. This criticism, however, has been hampered by the fact that the only example in Heidegger’s work of a detailed analysis of a Platonic dialogue, namely the Lectures on Plato’s Sophist held in Marburg in 1924–25, remained unpublished until 1992. Thus, only in the last twenty years have scholars been able to develop a more nuanced understanding of Heidegger’s interpretation of Plato. Even then, however, the focus has been primarily on the importance of the lectures for Heidegger’s own thought. The possible impact of Heidegger’s interpretation on the study of Platonic philosophy itself has been neglected. This volume, therefore, offers a critical re-evaluation of Heidegger as an interpreter of Plato.
The book presents a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics in the areas of intelligent systems and artificial intelligence, and their real-world applications. It gathers the proceedings of the Intelligent Systems Conference 2019, which attracted a total of 546 submissions from pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer-review process, after which 190 were selected for inclusion in these proceedings. As intelligent systems continue to replace and sometimes outperform human intelligence in decision-making processes, they have made it possible to tackle a host of pro...
In un contesto di ambiti religiosi rigidamente strutturati, ciò che James Hillman definiva visioni mono ossessive, vi sono stati coloro che ne hanno varcato i confini alla ricerca, senza preclusioni, di quell’indeterminato da cui si sentivano attratti e pagando spesso un prezzo molto alto. Il loro lavoro, che si è nutrito di differenti contributi, è stato bollato con il termine dispregiativo di “sincretismo”, con cui si intende una costruzione artificiale che mescola elementi disparati. Invece si dovrebbe parlare di una ricerca di isotopie, cioè di elementi che collimano. Di loro e della loro fedeltà al proprio cielo interiore argomentano le pagine del libro, in un itinerario arbi...
Si può forse affermare che l’esperienza del dialogo interculturale di cui Panikkar rappresentò un antesignano giunga a collocare la dimensione “imparativa” nell’ambito di una “filosofia del pathos”, quale “pratica di umanizzazione in grado di evolvere in coscienza umanitaria” (Betancourt). Essa costituisce, secondo questo studio, l’aspetto fondamentale della prassi della visione filosofica di Panikkar, inseparabile da quello teorico, inteso in senso contemplativo. Essendo quindi fondamentalmente ed essenzialmente “a-duale” (olistica), questa “philo-sophia” o “patosofia” mantiene il pensiero e la vita uniti attraverso il vincolo relazionale del Pathos. In tal c...
The book provides a collection of recent applications of nature inspired optimization in industrial fields. Different optimization techniques have been deployed, and different problems have been effectively analyzed. The valuable contributions from researchers focus on three ultimate goals (i) improving the accuracy of these techniques, (ii) achieving higher speed and lower computational complexity, and (iii) working on their proposed applications. The book is helpful for active researchers and practitioners in the field.

This book gathers a selection of papers presented at ROBOT 2019 – the Fourth Iberian Robotics Conference, held in Porto, Portugal, on November 20th–22nd, 2019. ROBOT 2019 is part of a series of conferences jointly organized by the SPR – Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica (Portuguese Society for Robotics) and SEIDROB – Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robótica (Spanish Society for Research and Development in Robotics). ROBOT 2019 built upon several previous successful events, including three biannual workshops and the three previous installments of the Iberian Robotics Conference, and chiefly focused on presenting the latest findings and applications in robotics from the Iberian Peninsula, although the event was also open to research and researchers from other countries. The event featured five plenary talks on state-of-the-art topics and 16 special sessions, plus a main/general robotics track. In total, after a stringent review process, 112 high-quality papers written by authors from 24 countries were selected for publication.
