Hegel's criticism against this conception shows that the particular is precisely the annihilation of the intended freedom advocated by Fichte. The inte- gration of the particular into the universal expressed as an activity involved the true realization of modern subjective freedom identified with the expansion of spirit char- acteristic of the antiquity. A trading system with restrictive laws and a repressive state converted into a tyranny constituted an attack to the true realization of individual wishes integrated in a community.","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":"1 1","pages":"15-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71081420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beginning with the reflexive use of the verb “to mean”, it discusses the possibility of reading as an operation of transforming reality. In its essential sense, reading constitutes an infinite operation of grouping signs that moves the place of something human being can never immediately access. This attentive observation of the in-terval between sign and signifier commits us to our own temporality. The person is presented as the place where the signified echoes that signs let us see through them are congregated. According to this point of view, it is only through reading that persons can be constituted.","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":"1 1","pages":"53-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71081592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Huss","doi":"10.5281/ZENODO.46041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.46041","url":null,"abstract":"This article analyses the specific interrelation between Aristotelianism and Petrarchism in literary exe- gesis as it was pursued by the Accademia Fiorentina in the sixteenth century. It exemplarily concentrates on G.B. Gelli's public interpretation of Petrarch's sonnet Quando giunse a Simon l'alto concetto (Rerum vulgarium frag- menta no. 78), a text written, according to Gelli, on a philosophical basis which is to be considered as strictly Aristotelian. Gelli's philosophical exegesis is much more sophisticated and ambitious than previous interpretations of this lyrical piece of Petrarch's. When constructing an Aristotelian horizon of philosophical reference, which serves as lead text to the interpretation proper, Gelli on the whole delineates, despite some didactic simplification, a coherent picture of Aristotelian doctrine regarding the creation of natural and artificial things. As far as Pe- trarch's sonnet is concerned with the origin of works of art, Gelli's exegesis manages to stay remarkably close to the literary text. However, when in the last lines of the sonnet the speaker's strong sexual longing for his beloved Laura breaks through, Gelli is forced to abandon Aristo- telianism (which is, in his view, oriented towards an em- pirical interpretation of reality and a description of human life based on sense perception) in favour of the dogmatic and metaphysical Platonism of Marsilio Ficino's theory of love. By using Ficinian theorems, Gelli wants to ethically domesticate Petrarch's text and to avoid the risk of having Petrarch make morally precarious statements. This is con- sonant with the Medici's official politics for which norms of social and cultural decorum (as reflected in the Acad- emy's statutes) had a binding character.","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":"1 1","pages":"28-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71082006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of asking primarily if or why this scholar was the first Je- wish Copernican, Delmedigo's experience is framed a- gainst a stable background of trade, antiquarianism, and astronomical interests spanning from Padua to the Eastern Mediterranean.

Sasso","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.34514","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.34514","url":null,"abstract":"any philosophers and critics agree that Conceptual Art is distinguished not only to be a loose collection of various practices but especially for its significant contradictions that increase the theoretical controversy about it. According to the theorist Donald Brook (1972) the phrase «Conceptual Art» has different senses and it is used with a general nonacceptance. His argument is based on the following premises: (i) this obscure label refers to many kinds of processes and objects; (ii) artists’ justifications about them are vague; (iii) their writings, in many cases, are in gibberish. So defining Conceptual Art is a complex matter. Brook acknowledges that this difficulty is related to four uses of the phrase: to indicate a primacy of a conceptual approach to art in contrast to the perceptual one; to emphasise that Conceptual Art is art of ideas and not art of physical objects; to claim that it is also an artistic process based on a semantic paradox that changes art and points out the critical approach to its nature; to remark the restricted meta-activity character through which art became essentially a comment on itself. The four uses of the phrase «Conceptual Art» singled by Brook reveal a high level of ambiguity due to its use. Nominally we could use the phrase to refer to an artistic movement or a general set of new experimental practices of the 60s that don’t accept the traditional methods of art making. In the first meaning the phrase is differently coined and used by two artists, and it is not completely working if referring to other kinds of artistic movements. Conceptual Art in this case would be the name of the artistic movement initially based upon the creative activities and the critical statements of many different artists, largely American. In the second meaning instead, the phrase is used to describe a decisive tendency for the profound change of art due to the new experimental practices of the 60s that also established a large part of the successive artistic evolution until today. The controversy about Conceptual Art is corroborated by this nominal ambiguity that reflects: the uncertain nature of Conceptual Art, its invisible boundaries but, at the same","PeriodicalId":37926,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Readings","volume":"1 1","pages":"101-114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71076317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
