"At the center of this work there is [...] the search for a rental or a fine of philosophy, but the presentation of a fairly diverse spectrum of op" erazioni and philosophical hypotheses [...] . Philosophical identity is always [...] a plurality , a comparison of minds, a dialogue "(p. 6).
There is in this programmatic statement of Stephen Cazzato , supported by a robust and deep cultural awareness, the juice of a realistic approach to philosophy and drama together. That is the realization that the truth theoretically punishable with the tools and the method of any human knowledge will remain hidden ( letheia ) . Partial truth and questionable, therefore , because no "point of view " , just as such, can legitimize the non- concealment disvelativo and absolute ( aletheia ) . And there , also , the pain and anxiety for a loss irredeemable . Nihil novi sub sole , you might say , since the " well-rounded truth " Parmenides , 25 centuries old , formed very early in the titanic challenge for both the " subversive " Socratic criticism , both for the more staid Platonic rationalism . According to M. Heidegger was precisely the paradeigma Plato to record the radical uncertainty - and weakness - of ontological philosophy , aggiogando Being One - to - many entities , which could only achieve a vision of reality shattered and split . Given these formidable conditions of crisis and tear, the so-called prodromal " nihilism of technology ," and slavish ancillary philosophies , because now re-examine the historical context too philosophical disenchantment ? Disenchantment , however, in all evidence established by a skeptical and relativist victory gained by centuries of modernity? Why do not you resign yourself to normal instrument of any provisional human knowledge ?
We try to answer is not trivial , as it seems to suggest Stephen Cazzato : that because most of the content of the philosophies and histories of the philosophies we can not do without philosophizing. We can not aspire to truth as " love of wisdom " - Filìa and sofia semantically joint - without suspecting the metaphysical impossibility , due to the gap between insurmountable epistemological contingency plan or desire ( here the reference is to the philosophy of secular and mundane ) . That's why so many bends in the same philosophical adventure " systematic flaw " of the most significant addresses theoretical , although it is marked by sometimes needs philological and empiti nostalgic , it has not neglected the burden ( problematic ) and the hassle of truth ( unavoidable ) of foundations . If not - we believe we infer from cutting epistemological Cazzato - the philosophical effort not only betray his fascination Socratic remote , but would escape to his own intimate statute . The squadernamento 50 thinkers , whose now-classic thought is condensed happily in many " points of view" , offers the reader a valuable comparative kaleidoscope . An opportunity cognitive and intellectual , while intersecting perspectives, analysis and " world views " very varied, without prejudice to the pin and structural unit of the discipline: the place that the man and his mind involved in the " life-world " , Copernican and post- Copernican it .
In the careful selection made , the legitimacy critique of " philosophies " includes the search for truth in those " operations and philosophical hypotheses " that enhances workability and existential urgency . And to reiterate the warning of a philosophy that, despite the multivalent mode , always thinking the same thing (M. Heidegger) , far from appearing mystical profession of faith , could instead stimulate a passionate latest survey on the outcome of philosophical reflection , attentive to the implications of its narrative categorical apparatus . A yearning consubstantial to man as " a thinking being ," able to build , within the perimeter of his fallibility Mobile , a tenacious though revisable perspective of truth. If we tried to relegate to sentimentality consoling his many 'transactions and philosophical hypotheses "( cf. p. 6) , philosophy - many already dead for some time - we could only give us its shell arid cold and impersonal environment of instrumental reason .
The useful volume , the result of scientific work and mature professional training (the philosophy must be tried in the fire alive and dialectical confrontation ! ) Attests to the necessity of philosophy, whose journey is infinite because , as noted Cazzato , it shall submit its questions to ' " tireless exercise of thought" even inquiring about herself and giving a more or less stable in our lives.
