La diffusione del Buddhismo Zen in Occidente è dovuta, in larga parte, all'opera di D.T. Suzuki, nato in Giappone, il quale raggiunse l'illuminazione Zen all'età di ventisette anni, dopo strenua applicazione. Da allora in avanti egli studiò e scrisse per sessant'anni, compiendo frequenti viaggi in Europa e negli Stati Uniti. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1950, Vivere Zen, è stato accolto da m ...

The nature of mendicancy as it developed among various religious orders during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is the subject of considerable debate. In spite of this, little in the way of a comprehensive review of the phenomenon as a whole has been undertaken. What has been done has either been order-specific (with an emphasis on the Friars Minor) or has focused on points of special conf ...

Negli studi e nell'insegnamento della storia romana, non viene solitamente attribuita una particolare attenzione alla parte religiosa, limitandosi soprattutto a ricercare ed esporre gli eventi quali guerre e conquiste, mutamenti di governo, lotte e discordie intestine, usi e costumi in genere.

Translated from the tenth edition and edited by John R. Catan and Richard Davies Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, the paradigm that has been widely accepted for interpreting Plato has held that the dialogues are fully understandable on their own terms and that the entirety of Plato's doctrine can be found in his writings. This method of interpretation, which Giovanni Reale calls th ...

Come per i Presocratici, i Socratici e i filosofi ellenistici, anche nel caso di Platone esistono due rami della tradizione: da un lato gli scritti di Platone che ci sono pervenuti, e dell'altro relazioni dossografiche nei suoi discepoli e in filosofi posteriori. Essi però non rimandano a scritti di Platone andati perduti, ma alla sua attività didattica orale nell'Accademia.

Non c'è grande filosofo del passato che abbia dato luogo a tante, e tanto diverse. interpretazioni quanto Platone. La scuola di Tubinga ha operato una vera rivoluzione nel campo dell'esegesi platonica collocando in primo piano la tradizione indiretta nella quale si è conservata la testimonianza dell'insegnamento orale del filosofo greco. Nel suo saggio, Domenico Pesce espone le tesi di questa scu ...

En este libro admirable de crítica literaria, René Girard aporta una noción fecunda, la de deseo mimético. Es decir: el hombre es incapaz de desear por sí solo, necesita que el objeto de su deseo le sea designado por un tercero. Este tercero puede ser externo a la acción novelesca: como los manuales de caballería para Don Quijote o las novelas de amor para Emma Bovary. Con mayor frecuencia es int ...

Quattro miliardi di anni fa non c'era libertà sul nostro pianeta perché non c'era vita.

Daniel Dennett, uno dei più noti sostenitori della teoria darwiniana, mostra in con ...

The picture is inspired by Rudolf Carnap's construction of the world in Der Logische Aufbau Der Welt. Carnap's Aufbau is often seen as a noble failure, but Chalmers argues that a version of the project can succeed. With the right basic elements and the right derivation relation ...
