Kant and Ancient Materialism
The important dialogue that Kant entertained with ancient materialism has only rarely been acknowledged. The relation between Kant s thought and the theories of Epicurus and Lucretius touches on central problems such as the role of sensation in knowledge, the significance of pleasure and pain, the role of God in ethics, and the pre-Darwinian idea of evolution in the philosophy of nature. The purpose of the present volume is to fill a substantial gap in Kant scholarship by examining the philosopher s debt to ancient materialism."

Hidden Paths
Hidden paths analyses the representation of character in Greek tragedy, focusing on one of the most important and controversial theatre plays of all times the Bacchae. Euripides' last play has always been a favourite, enjoying an enormous success for centuries on and off the stage. This book argues that in the representation of characters in the play we can find a development in the view of self and representation of man. This development, which is also to be partly traced in the works of Sophocles and in earlier plays by Euripides, finds a fuller expression in the Bacchae and culminates in the catastrophe of ignorance and incommunicability which has Pentheus at its centre. The construction of character in the text and the view of self which it entails are explored through a meticulous analysis of keywords, while verbal usage, imagery and style are exposed as the very 'stuff' of characterisation. The book uncovers the 'hidden paths' along which human life is experienced in the play and through which human characterisation materializes from the fabric of the text.
The Oxford Handbook of Hobbes
The Oxford Handbook of Hobbes collects twenty-six newly commissioned, original chapters on the philosophy of the English thinker Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679). Best known today for his important influence on political philosophy, Hobbes was in fact a wide and deep thinker on a diverse range of issues. The chapters included in this Oxford Handbook cover the full range of Hobbes's thought--his philosophy of logic and language; his view of physics and scientific method; his ethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of law; and his views of religion, history, and literature. Several of the chapters overlap in fruitful ways, so that the reader can see the richness and depth of Hobbes's thought from a variety of perspectives. The contributors are experts on Hobbes from many countries, whose home disciplines include philosophy, political science, history, and literature. A substantial introduction places Hobbes's work, and contemporary scholarship on Hobbes, in a broad context.
Le sfide dell’etica ambientale
L’attribuzione dello status di ‘persona’ a soggetti in precedenza discriminati ha giocato un ruolo fondamentale nello storico processo di estensione dei diritti morali e civili a tutti gli esseri umani. Allo stesso modo, oggi, l’inclusione di almeno una parte del mondo non-umano all’interno della comunità morale è uno degli aspetti cruciali del discorso etico contemporaneo, un aspetto la cui importanza è stata infatti durante gli ultimi quarant’anni sostenuta da un numero crescente di autori. Ciononostante, sono stati pochi i tentativi di difendere la possibilità di un’etica ambientale che, pur fondandosi su una teoria morale non-antropocentrica, si dimostri tutt’altro ch...

Fenomenologia della soggettività
In questo saggio l’opera filosofica di Edith Stein (1891-1942) viene collocata nello scenario della filosofia tedesca dei primi decenni del Novecento, in particolare nell’orbita della fenomenologia. Al magistero di Husserl Edith Stein riconosce il merito di aver riscattato all’universalità dell’indagine delle essenze la tematica psicologica; quindi di aver elaborato un metodo in grado di fornire una fondazione filosofica, cioè rigorosa, alle Geisteswissenschaften. In coerenza con questo assunto viene mostrato come l’itinerario fenomenologico di Edith Stein si strutturi a partire dall’analisi del vissuto dell’empatia (Einfühlung). L’esperienza dell’altro come altro è cor...
