Desire and Human Flourishing
This book discusses the concept of desire as a positive factor in human growth and flourishing. All human decision-making is preceded by some kind of desire, and we act upon desires by either rejecting or following them. It argues that our views on and expressions of desire in various facets of life and through time have differed according to how human beings are taught to desire. Therefore, the concept has tremendous potential to affect human beings positively and to enable personal growth. Though excellent research has been done on the concepts of flourishing, character education and positive psychology, no other work has linked the concept of desire to all of these topics. Featuring key references, explanations of central concepts, and significant practical applications of desire to various fields of human thought and action, the book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of positive psychology, positive education, moral philosophy, and virtue ethics.
The Importance of Listening to Children and Adolescents
This volume highlights the importance of teaching adults to listen to children and adolescents, illustrating the principles and contexts that define young people’s tangible and intangible rights and ideals. It reflects on the difficulties that impede the implementation of children and adolescents’ right to be listened to, in line with guidelines linked to national and international policies regarding children and adolescents. The book provides examples of how educational research can be used as a resource for the development of educational processes and of educational systems that put listening and participation at the heart of educational culture, as instruments of intervention and a possible component of social transformation.
Metaphysics of Human Rights 1948-2018
The 1948 Declaration of Human Rights demanded a collaboration among exponents from around the world. Embodying many different cultural perspectives, it was driven by a like-minded belief in the importance of finding common principles that would be essential for the very survival of civilization. Although an arduous and extensive process, the result was a much sought-after and collective endeavor that would be referenced for decades to come. Motivated by the seventieth anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and enriched by the contributions of eminent scholars, this volume aims to be a reflection on human rights and their universality. The underlying question is whether...
The world in a sea
The Mediterranean, both a sea and a theatre, has served throughout history as a fundamental crossroads for the political-religious dynamics and international tensions that characterize the various worlds, east and west, south and north, that meet in this basin. Starting from these premises, the present work examines - within a chronological span that goes from the conclusion of the Second World War to the end of Pius XII’s pontificate - the contribution offered by the Holy See and by Catholics from different national contexts in deciphering the role of the Mediterranean Sea within the wider global context. As such, it constitutes a reflection on this geographical space with its peculiar cultural, economic, political, and religious realities by highlighting the role played by the Mediterranean in the elaboration of visions and projects of civilization. This work is the fruit of a wider research programme called Occidentes - Horizons and projects of civilization in the Church of Pius XII. It brings together the work of seven historians from different European Universities.
Embodied research
Qual è il valore del corpo nella dimensione della ricerca? Quale ruolo può avere in ciascuna delle fasi in cui si struttura una ricerca qualitativa? Lo studio sviluppato nel presente volume cerca di rispondere a queste domande immergendosi in un’indagine il cui stesso oggetto ha una caratterizzazione fortemente corporea: l’embodied teaching, ovvero la dimensione incarnata dei processi di insegnamento e apprendimento in contesto scolastico. Collocandosi nel macro-paradigma dell’embodiment e nel campo di studio della Pedagogia del corpo, il testo è il racconto scientifico di un’esperienza di ricerca tesa a dare valore alla dimensione incarnata della conoscenza. Partendo come ricerca cooperativa a matrice corporeo- narrativa, lo studio si sviluppa attraverso una svolta performativa che ne trasforma la natura e che ne rappresenta il tratto più peculiare: un’analisi e poi una restituzione performativa dei dati che consente di osservare il tema dell’embodied teaching da una prospettiva specifica e coerente con i suoi assunti di fondo.
Milton, the sublime and dramas of choice
Milton, the Sublime and Dramas of Choice challenges readers and scholars to rethink Milton’s relationship to the sublime in terms of ethics. The book demonstrates that Milton’s sublimity merges the early modern reception of Longinus with classical, medieval, and Renaissance categories of magnanimity, wonder, and inspiration to investigate the relations between human and divine agency. Under the influence of early modern models of sublimity, including Spenser and Shakespeare, Milton speaks through his fictional characters about the making of heroic and literary virtue. In turn, the work also sheds light on the importance of tragedy as an additional source to the formation of the Renaissan...
Pedagogia dell’identità: l’enigma dell’essere
Osservare, senza la necessità di dover comprendere, lo sviluppo naturale della propria identità in divenire, lasciarsi vivere in una continua ridefinizione di sé in cui poter dire “sono e non sono, ero e non sono più”, lasciarsi sconquassare dal vento forte, dalla luce del sole o dalla delicata e tenue luce lunare, farsi acqua e terra, aria e fuoco, oscillare fra gli opposti, essere tutto e niente, provare la vertigine dell’assenza di contorni e rimirare il bello e lo straordinario che ne deriva. Lasciare che il vento scombini l’ordine nei nostri monasteri interiori, che faccia cadere le nostre sedie ordinate e traballare le nostre fatue certezze, entrare nel forno alchemico che tutto trasforma, mettere insieme il bianco e il nero, la luce e le tenebre, l’illimitato e il fi nito, l’illuminato e il posto in ombra e concepire l’inganno che si cela dietro ogni defi nizione. Questa è l’identità sublime.
Nell'educazione un tesoro
Quale posto la nostra società riserva ai giovani, alla scuola, alla famiglia? Come superare la paura della disoccupazione, l’angoscia dell’esclusione e quella della perdita di identità? Come diffondere nell’umanità le idee di pace, libertà e giustizia sociale? Questi i temi trattati nel saggio che ad oltre 20 anni dalla sua prima edizione è più che mai di stringente attualità.
