Fenomenologia, esistenzialismo, marxismo

By: Giovanni Piana

A questo volume che raccoglie scritti degli anni 1962-1968, l'autore ha ritenuto opportuno premettere una Presentazione scritta nel 2013. In effetti quegli anni sono stati cruciali per molti aspetti della storia e cultura italiana, ma sono certamente anni remoti e le tematiche allora discusse vanno ridestate. Questi scritti sono poi eterogenei sia nel contenuto che nella forma che nello stile. Ma il titolo contiene già un orientamento sul percorso filosofico delineato nella Presentazione, in cui si dichiarano anche le incertezze dell'autore in quegli anni di formazione, nei quali egli era politicamente attivo sul versante dell'"operaismo". Nel ripubblicare questi testi l'autore manifesta la convinzione di una relativa attualità dei dibattiti di allora, sia per ciò che concerne l'opera di Lukàcs, sia per ciò che concerne la polemica contro l'heideggerismo dilagante nella cultura italiana, polemica che è rimasta una costante sottintesa di tutta l'opera del filosofo.

A History of Ancient Philosophy III

Systems of the Hellenistic Age

By: Giovanni Reale

Reale's volume supplies a synthesis previously lacking--a synthesis in the historical treatment of the great philosophies of the Hellenistic Age: the Academy, the Peripatos, the Stoa, the Garden of Epicurus, Scepticism, and Eclecticism. Reale's extensive and fully documented treatment of the major schools of the period is unified by his thesis that the ethics developed by these major schools were secular faiths that sprang from intuitions about the meaning of life first emotionally grasped and then systematically and rationally developed. It is for this reason that the teachings of these schools endured almost continuously for about 500 years. It is for the same reason that the founders of the schools were considered gods and were actually, in a certain sense, the saints of secular faiths and religions. In this book, Reale traces the decline of the philosophical schools of the classical period, the post-Platonic Academy, the post-Aristotelian Peripatos, and the minor socratic schools. The destruction of the polis and the incapacity of the schools to address the concerns of the new age were the fertile grounds from which the new schools developed. The Garden of Epicurus, the Porch of Zeno, and the sceptical movement initiated by Pyrrho form the core of the volume. The volume contains a select bibliography and an index of names and Greek terms, as well as an index of citations.

(The Original Payne Translation)

THE DECAMERON

(The Original Payne Translation)

By: Giovanni Boccaccio

John Payne's translation of The Decameron was originally published in a private printing for The Villon Society, London in 1886. Comprised of 100 novellas told by ten men and women over a ten day journey fleeing plague-infested Florence, the Decameron is an allegorical work famous for its bawdy portrayals of everyday life, its searing wit and mockery, and its careful adherence to a framed structure. The word "decameron" is derived from the Greek and means "ten days". Boccaccio drew on many influences in writing the Decameron, and many writers, including Martin Luther, Chaucer, and Keats, later drew inspiration from the book. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian writer and humanist, one of the founders of the Renaissance. He studied business but abandoned it eventually to pursue his literary interests. In 1350 Boccaccio met Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) (1304-1374), one the most important figures in the beginnings of the Renaissance and Humanism.

Literature and the Great War

The Fronts of Writing

By: Giovanni Capecchi

Among the numerous volumes dedicated to the Great War, this book stands out for its ability to trace, in a thorough but concise manner, an overall picture of the literature born from the conflict. After its introductory pages concerning the forms, times and places of war writing, the book focuses on the story of the months of the eve of the war, on the journey to the front and the discovery of the true face of war, on the stories of the trenches, on the accounts of the imprisonment, and on the return home accompanied by disappointment and disorientation. The book, focused on Italy, but rich in references to European literature, is a journey through history and the human soul, between hopes and fears, illusions and massacres. It is the story of an event that divided the collective history of Europe and individual lives. It is the account, passionate and exciting, of the literary writings born from trauma.

A History of Ancient Philosophy IV

The Schools of the Imperial Age

By: Giovanni Reale

This book covers the first 500 years of the common era. These years witnessed the revivals of Aristotelianism, Epicureanism, Pyrrhonism, Cynicism, and Pythagoreanism; but by far the most important movement was the revival of Platonism under Plotinus. Here, the historical context of Plotinus is provided including the currents of thought that preceded him and opened the path for him. The presuppositions of the Enneads are made explicit and the thought of Plotinus is reconstructed. The author reorients the expositions of Middle Platonism and neo-Pythagoreanism. He provides a full exposition of Hermeticism and the doctrines of the Chaldean Oracles. He also defends the notion that Philo of Alexandria nourished a Jewish philosophy, not an eclectic mixture.
