A book by Stefano Cazzato on the meaning of the ontology ...
Who better than a philosopher can explain what is philosophy? This is the starting point for the work of Stefano Cazzato which proposes an anthology of fifty authors here asked to give their definition of philosophy. The authors in question all belong to the twentieth century, and it is no coincidence: in this century, in fact, by coming to terms with the great ideological systems inherited from the past, we have tried to supplant that certain way of understanding and doing philosophy, the now obsolete light of new trends (it would be better to call them interpretations): In a word that horizon of meaning called ontology. Mind you, the ontology is not dead, but it is right to realize that being is no longer the exclusive subject of which philosophy will assume the contrary: its conceptual boundaries have gone so well that today it is perhaps difficult to delimit.
Around this discipline in fact , right in the twentieth century, has built a dialogic confrontation with art, music , politics, sociology , which has so multiplied the opportunities for action and areas of reflection of speculation in general. In this anthology of philosophical representation of heterogeneity of thought and thoughts , relive these defilements : between deviation and derivation philosophy is enriched by concepts and topics to be discussed and reason . This development reminds us that philosophy , to ensure its survival , has extreme necessity to keep pace with the times , so it is only right to let a dialectical view involves not only the multiplicity of which we have spoken, but also the relevance of certain topics ( such as social networks or mobile phone ) , the elaboration of new content .
The work is structured as follows : the texts are preceded by a short presentation of the author , which is useful to frame it in broad terms, and followed by a detailed explanation of the key concepts expressed ; thinkers are cited according to the impartiality alphabetical order : voices of the twentieth century that represent the diversity of schools of thought exist as a synthesis of academic and non- philosophical landscape .
Thanks to the work of Cazzato reread together the most beautiful pages of contemporary philosophy : the fascinating words of Bobbio , so the uncertainty of the philosophical journey is driven in continuous search of a truth many; trend against the position that Fayerabend , counted among the greatest philosophers of science, philosophy preaches a far cry from the scientific method , can not fail to respond Heidegger , distinguishing between being and beings , becomes a symbol of an era that closes ( that of Western metaphysics ) and inspiration for a ' era that opens ( the hermeneutics ) . There's room for lesser known authors such as Aldo Giorgio Gargani , an expert on Wittgenstein died in 2009 , he preaches against superbiadel know foolproof as an instrument of power, and Roger Garaudy , who died last year , that the criticisms leveled at certain authors or certain conceptions , leaves no chance of replies to those who argue from these misconceptions are called into question , as well as to judge those who read this debate , dialogue forms the basis of which the French writer intends to convey . Among the living mentions the famous Putnam with his pragmatic realism , the man postmetaphysical of Nancy and Vattimo's weak thought , critical consciousness of the whole Western tradition.
A simple but at the same time appealing to approach philosophy as a stimulus to those who are preparing the first approach with the matter, a new opportunity for those who until now were considered disinterested or just curious about the speculative world : an excellent handbook to discover or passionate about what in the beautiful definition of the author 's philosophy : a relentless exercise of thought.
