La ragione e i suoi eccessi

Paolo Costa
Feltrinelli

Che utilità ha oggi la filosofia e qual è la "specialità" del filosofo nell'epoca della settorializzazione dei saperi? Consapevoli dell'impossibilità di preservare la supremazia della "philosophia prima" in quanto conoscenza del Tutto, negli ultimi due secoli i filosofi occidentali si sono trovati spesso nella condizione di dover giustificare la propria funzione, alleandosi ora con la politica, ora con la storia, ora con la scienza. Tutti questi tentativi sono naufragati di fronte all'incapacità di disciplinare gli eccessi della ragione. Congedate le tentazioni autarchiche, a volte persino imperialiste, e i vari sforzi di mettervi freno, è venuto il momento di riconoscere che l'utilità del pensiero filosofico sta forse proprio nella sua natura eccedente, nel connubio tra l'aspirazione metafisica alla totalità e l'apertura scettica alla complessità dell'esperienza, nel desiderio sconfinato di espansione e inclusione, nell'esigenza di conciliare sintesi e apertura alla varietà dell'esistente. Più che di utilità sarebbe allora opportuno parlare di urgenza della filosofia, in quanto forma di curiosità onnivora, desiderio di sentirsi a casa ovunque, caotica creatività intellettuale. Per saggiare la desiderabilità degli eccessi della ragione si riflette in altrettanti capitoli del libro su dieci questioni centrali non solo della filosofia, ma dell'esistenza.

Letteratura italiana del Risorgimento

Gianfranco Contini
Bur

Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1986, questo volume dell'opera maggiore di Contini ha incarnato e ancora rappresenta un periodo esemplare della critica letteraria italiana. Riproposto oggi integrato delle pagine relative ad Alessandro Manzoni - unico elemento di un secondo tomo progettato e mai realizzato - affronta quel periodo cruciale della nostra storia in cui la letteratura si costituì come codice scritto comune ed elemento di un immaginario "italiano" condiviso: dalla Rivoluzione francese all'Unità d'Italia (1789-1861). Un classico della storia della cultura italiana, punto di riferimento imprescindibile per i critici della generazione successiva per la sua acribia e profondità di lettura. Introduzione di Roberto Antonelli.

La Giovanna ha un gran nasone, tante lentiggini, dei capelli un po' come i peli di una spazzola. Eppure, per il suo cagnolino Ciccio e per il suo amico il drago Tommasone, è la bambina più bella, più simpatica e coraggiosa del mondo. Questo libro racconta le sue avventure che cominciano quando sogna di essere in un prato fiorito, un giorno di primavera, proprio nel momento in cui si alza il vento. Età di lettura: dai 6 anni.

The Shawl Portrait of a Mexican Woman ca. 1950

Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. The French painter ORAZI stayed in Mexico in 1955 and then in 1956-57, which was an exceptionally attractive world for intellectuals and artists of the time. The natural scenery, the customs and traditions of the local population were the themes that converged in the series of paintings called Peintures sur le Mexique, landscapes, compositions and portraits without giving in to the taste for the exotic, with an extremely careful work on the color to represent, without descriptivism, the elements of nature and the figures of men and women, already projected towards abstraction. This pictorial series, composed of 35 pieces, was then exhibited in 1957, upon his return to France, at the Vendôme Gallery in Paris. The painting comes from the private collection of the artist's family.
