Papers by Gaetano Chiurazzi
In his Introduction to Schlick’s text "On the Foundation of Knowledge" Severino lucidly highlights the analytical foundation that neo-positivism required for knowledge, which for him is not psychological or logical (concerning protocol propositions), but metaphysical (as the character of the entity as such). This text intends to problematise this solution, on the basis of the symmetrical/asymmetrical relation that is expressed in the title, the relation, that is, between ‘foundation of knowledge’ and ‘knowledge of the foundation’.
Abstract: With the word " biotechnology " we can understand a technology that modifies the life as zoe or as bios. Whereas in the former case we speak of GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), in the latter it would be more approrpiate to speak of CMO (Culturally Modified Organisms). In this paper I aim at examine the meaning of this tecnological intervention on life, starting from the claim that the human being is an intrinsecally cultural animal, which modifies through technology the surrounding environment and consequently himself. The concepts that intervene in the definition of the human being as OCM are that of " world " (derived from Heidegger) and that of " objective spirit " (derived from Hegel). In the final part I present a comparison with Clark's and Chalmers's theory of the extended mind, by proposing a different tesis, that of the " concrete mind " .
The twelve papers on the Egyptian hieroglyphic script have been written by philosophers and Egyptologists. The first of the two sections in which the volume is articulated constructs a sketched history of Western philosophical reflections on hieroglyphic writing. This history, starting from Neoplatonism and ending with Deconstructionism, passes through the Renaissance, Hegel’s age and analytical philosophy. The second section is dedicated to some of the latest Egyptolinguistic perspectives on hieroglyphic writing, and questions different pillars of standard Egyptolinguistics, namely the primeval ‘descriptive’ function of hieroglyphic writing, the neat distinction between ideograms, phonograms and determinatives or classifiers and the purely iconic role of the latter. In the new perspective, Egyptian writing is no longer conceived as a mirror of language, but as something that contributes to shaping the language and reflects thought models in evolution.

La dimostrazione dell’incommensurabilità della diagonale non è però solo il punto di svolta verso un’ontologia della dynamis: è anche il presupposto di un’ontologia intrinsecamente differenziale, che non collassi nella tautologia; di una concezione dell’esistenza in termini posizionali e non quantificazionali, e di una concezione realmente trasformativa ed emancipante della ragione. L’incommensurabile rappresenta il concetto di un’esteriorità o di un eccesso irriducibile a un dominio dato, e quindi il fondamento di quella che qui viene chiamata «una microfisica della libertà».
