Proponiamo uno studio interpretativo del pensiero poetante di Giacomo Leopardi, approfondendo l’analisi filologica di alcuni versi poetici e di alcune riflessioni estratte da Pensieri di varia filosofia e di bella letteratura, conosciuti come Zibaldone. Il nostro Recanatese ha creato un’originale teoria di filosofia sull’esistenza umana, sulla vita, e sul metodo più adatto per intraprendere la ricerca della felicità, desiderio inarrestabile dell’uomo di ogni epoca. Non c’è alcun dubbio nel definire Leopardi filosofo esistenzialista. Anticipatore del nichilismo di Friedrich Nietzsche, riesce a proporre una filosofia i cui concetti principali sono: il nulla nichilistico, la ragione umana, la verità, la teoria della felicità, accogliendo l’interpretazione del filosofo italiano Emanuele Severino, del critico letterario Antonio Prete. L’obiettivo di questo studio non è esaustivo in questa sede, ma vuole dimostrare che l’interpretazione tradizionale del pessimismo individuale e cosmico del poeta è assolutamente riduttiva e insufficiente per comprendere la base teorica delle riflessioni di tutte le opere leopardiane. Lo Zibaldone non va letto come un insieme di pensieri confusi, privi di una connessione logica, perché sono in realtà un sistema di riflessioni basate su dimostrazioni certe, alla cui base vive uno scetticismo ragionato e dimostrato con una grande forza psichica in ogni sua pagina.

The Way

Music seems to touch human beings more immediately than any other art form; yet it can be an elaborate medium steeped in complex thought. The paradox of this “immediate medium” was pursued in nineteenth-century philosophy’s significant encounters with music. Giacomo Leopardi (1798–1837) addressed music’s immediacy through sound, suggesting that if music is a sonic bodily practice, sensualism is an adequate philosophy of listening. Søren Kierkegaard (1813–55) dismantled that recommendation, paving the way to account for the intellectual dimensions of music, including the key issue of its temporality. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) moved from considering psychological time to historical time: music creates meaning by absorbing the complementary elements of word and gesture over time. Of course, intriguing philosophies of music may not be all there is to the nineteenth century. Did music in that era acquire a capacity to articulate philosophical insight, as some have said? That argument is still open.

Objective Reality

This introductory chapter examines the “problem” of nihilism, beginning with its philosophical origins in the ideas of Plato, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger. It is argued that film is an inherently nihilistic medium involving the evocation of illusory worlds cut loose from objective reality. This nihilism of film is distinguished from nihilism in film; the nihilistic content also present in some (but not all) movies. Criticisms of media nihilism by authors such as Thomas Hibbs and Darren Ambrose are examined. It is then argued, contrary to such critics, that cinematic nihilism is not necessarily degrading or destructive. Because the nihilism of film encourages audiences to linger in the presence of nihilism in film, cinematic nihilism potentially trains audiences to learn the positive lessons of nihilism while remaining safely detached from the sorts of dangers depicted on screen.

Point Of Reference

Readers of Giorgio Agamben would agree that the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) is not one of his primary interlocutors. As such, Agamben’s engagement with Nietzsche is different from the French reception of Nietzsche’s philosophy in Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Georges Bataille, as well as in his contemporary Italian colleague Roberto Esposito, for whom Nietzsche’s philosophy is a key point of reference in their thinking of politics beyond sovereignty. Agamben’s stance towards the thought of Nietzsche may seem ambiguous to some readers, in particular with regard to his shifting position on Nietzsche’s much-debated vision of the eternal recurrence of the same.

To Come

This article exploits a core defect in the phenomenology of sensation and self. Although phenomenology has made great strides in redeeming the body from cognitive solipsisms that often follow short-sighted readings of Descartes and Kant, it has not grappled with the specific kind of corporeal self-reflexivity that emerges in the oral sense of taste with the thoroughness it deserves. This path is illuminated by the works of Martin Luther, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jacques Derrida as they attempt to think through the specific phenomena accessible through the lips, tongue, and mouth. Their attempts are, in turn, supplemented with detours through Walter Benjamin, Hélène Cixous, and Friedrich Nietzsche. The paper draws attention to the German distinction between Geschmack and Kosten as well as the role taste may play in relation to faith, the call to love, justice, and messianism. The messiah of love and justice will have been that one who proclaims: taste the flesh.

Una gran victoria es un gran peligro: Max Weber, Friedrich Nietzsche y el problema del epigonismo.

Max Weber

La hipótesis del artículo –cuyo basamento es a la vez teórico, terminológico y biográfico– sostiene que en la crítica al epigonismo que realiza Max Weber entre 1893 y 1895 se manifiesta una influencia directa del proyecto político-cultural del joven Nietzsche, en particular, el condensado en las Consideraciones intempestivas. El epigonismo es el efecto no deseado de lo grande. El dilema al que se enfrentan tanto Nietzsche como Weber puede ser resumido de la siguiente manera: los grandes hombres dificultan el surgimiento de grandes hombres. Con vistas a demostrar la hipótesis, se desarrollará una lectura apegada de “El Estado nacional y la política económica” develando su condición nietzscheana. La parte central del artículo se dedicará a dicho seguimiento, atento a la estructura propia de la Antrittsrede. Seguido al cuerpo del texto se dedicará unas breves páginas dedicadas a la fundamentación biográfica de la plausibilidad de la hipótesis del artículo.
