The Legitimacy of Truth
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Third meeting Italian/American Philosophy that took place in Rome in June 5-10, 2001. What is "Truth" in Analytic Philosophy after the linguistic turn? What can we say about "Truth" in Hermeneutics, after taking into account the so-called hermeneutical circle? According to Nietzsche: "Truth is that form of error without which human beings could not live." From this definition it follows: "The point is not the rightness of theory but its importance for human existence." Could we say the same from an epistemological point of view? Who (or what) could be the neutral arbiter among different conceptual schemes? Can an interpretative paradigm stand in as a substitute for traditional objectivity? The controversial problem of "Truth," however, must be discussed within the various fields of philosophy: Aesthetics, Logic, Epistemology, Ethics and Politics. In view of this, Hermeneutics and Analytic Philosophy converged to create the body of this meetin
Reason and Reasonabless [sic]
This volume contains the Proceedings of the fourth Meeting Italian/American Philosophy on the theme "Reason and Reasonableness" that took place in Rome from October 8-11, 2003. To be reasonable does not mean anymore to follow steady rules but it meant to tray to understand the different point of view and widening our cultural criteria in order to find a common evaluation.
50 Jahre Wahrheit und Methode
The turning point occurred with Heidegger's hermeneutics of facticity saw a great flourishing in Gadamer's works. Hermeneutics becomes the philosophy that undermines the scientific parameters of modernity and it looks for an extra-metodica way that leads up to truth through the rediscovery of the cultural values of our European tradition that is art, taste and culture but above all, rhetoric, practical philosophy, and that particular form of judgment called phronesis, which expresses itself in the understanding of the other and in the dialogue. This sensitivity towards the values of tradition, which represents the authentic authority since it's the consent on which the civil society is based, cannot for Gadamer withdraw into itself but it must open itself to the intercultural dialogue as an ethical answer to the challenge of globalization. PLEASE NOTE: Only three of the book's twenty-two essays are in English language text. (Series: The Dialogue - Yearbook of Philosophical Hermeneutics - Vol. 5)
Giorgio de Chirico. Immagini metafisiche
Un alone di mistero incombe su tutti i quadri di Giorgio de Chirico. I suoi quadri sono enigmi, come vengono appunto chiamati dallo stesso pittore: città vuote, assenza umana, solo statue, ombre, manichini o maschere che abitano la scena, e sullo sfondo il vuoto dello spazio cosmico, illuminato da una luce irreale che finisce poi nel buio, l’immagine del nulla. Questa immagine del nulla cosmico sotteso alle altre immagini stende su tutto un velo inquietante di angosciosa malinconia, così che le immagini enigmatiche divengono immagini metafisiche. Un libro che getta finalmente luce sul mistero delle rappresentazioni enigmatiche della Metafisica di de Chirico sulla base di una minuziosa indagine semiotica dei quadri e di una approfondita ricostruzione storica delle fonti filosofiche del pittore, che sono prima Schopenhauer e poi fondamentalmente Nietzsche, di cui de Chirico legge Così parlò Zarathustra nell’estate del 1910, venendo colto da un autentico rapimento nella lettura, che è stato all’origine della sua grande arte.
Normativity and Legitimacy
" This volume contains the Proceedings of the Second Meeting Italian-American Philosophy, that took place in New York from 12 to 15 October 1999, together with two contributions given during the First Meeting. It is the first volume of a Yearbook for Philosophical Hermeneutics, The Dialogue, actually aiming to promote the dialogue between analytic and hermeneutic philosophy. Normativity and legitimacy are the two key concepts which have been at the base of the confrontation between the thought of the Frankfurt School and most of the American philosophy. They can offer the possibility for further discussions and developments within the fields of aesthetics, logic, and language philosophy, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of law and politics. They also represent the ground on which the two different aspects of contemporary philosophy, that one of hermeneutic dealing with historical legitimacy, and the one of analytics dealing with rational determination of norms, could together establish a productive dialogue.
