CHAPTER 1: VICO's INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT 1. Vico's Orations Notes CHAPTER 1: VICO'S INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT 1. Vico's Orations (1699, 1700, 1701, 1704, 1705, 1707) and His Supposed Epistemological Break (1710) 1.

  • Western Philosophy Rev
    Designed by John Cornet, Phoenix HS (Ore) Western Philosophy rev. September 2012 The very process of philosophy has been a driving force in the tranformation of the world. From the figure who dwells upon how to achieve power, to the minister who contemplates the paradox of the only truth (their faith) yet which is also stagnent, to the astronomers who are searching the stars for signs of other civilizations, to the revolutionaries who sought to construct a national government which would protect the rights of the minority, the very exercise of philosophy and philosophical thought is at a core of human nature. Philosophy addresses what are sometimes called the "big questions." These include questions of morality and ethics, ideology/faith,, politics, the truth of knowledge, the nature of reality, and the meaning of human existance (...just to name a few!) (Religion addresses some of the same questions, but while philosophy and religion overlap in some questions, they can and do differ significantly in the approach they take to answering them.)

Forster and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, the two authors illwninate their portrayal ofearly twentieth-century London and its rising modernity with oceanic metaphors. My research in history, cultural studies, literary criticism, and psychoanalytic theory aimed to discover why and to what end Forster and Woolf would choose this particular image for the metropolis itselfand for social interactions within it. Context of the Problem: My interpretation of the oceanic metaphor in the novels stems from the views of particular theorists and writers in urban psychology and sociology (Anthony Vidler, Georg Simmel, Jack London) and in psychoanalysis (Sigmund Freud, particularly in his correspondence with writer Romain Rolland). These scholars provide descriptions ofthe oceanic in varying manners, yet reflect the overall trend in the period to characterizing life experience, and particularly experiences in the city, through images and metaphors ofthe sea. Methods and Procedures: The research for this project entailed reading a wide range ofhistorically-specific background regatg ¥9fSter, W661f~ eity of I .Q~e various academic areas listed above in order to frame my conclusions about the novels appropriately.

Doctor (c) en Filosofía. Profesor Universidad San Sebastián. Concepción "Uno de los signos de los escritores de genio es que lo que dicen, puede, a veces, tocar un nervio central en las mentes o los sentimientos de los hombre que pertenecen a otras épocas, culturas o perspectivas, y establecen trenes de pensamiento y arrastran consecuencias que no se les ocurrieron o pudieron no ocurrírseles a tales escritores y todavía menos preocupar sus mentes" Isaiah Berlin "Vico de hecho lo dice ya todo; pero la abstracción e interpretación conceptual la deja a cargo de la posterioridad" Richard Peters Protosociología y Heterogénesis de los Fines (*) El pensador napolitano Giambattista Vico (1668–1744) de reconocida autoridad en el campo de la investigación histórica es considerado, también, el inaugurador de la Filosofía de la Historia en una época en la cual aún no existía una denominación específica para designar ese tipo de estudio (1). No obstante, en el presente trabajo proponemos que su mérito es más extenso y profundo; de hecho anticipa ideas (2) que posteriormente alcanzan un amplio desarrollo por parte de filósofos, historiadores, politólogos, psicólogos y cientistas sociales. Se mencionan los nombres de Hegel, Dilthtey, Spengler, Niebhur, Mommsen, la teoría sobre Homero de Wolf, la interpretación de la mitología de Bachofen, la reconstrucción del pasado en base a etimologías de Grimm, el entendimiento histórico de las leyes de Savigny y el de la ciudad antigua y el feudalismo de Foustel de Coulanges, la teoría sobre la lucha de clases de Marx y Sorel.

  • Off the Pedestal, on the Stage: Animation and De-Animation in Art
    Off the Pedestal; On the Stage Animation and De-animation in Art and Theatre Aura Satz Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London PhD in Fine Art 2002 Abstract Whereas most genealogies of the puppet invariably conclude with robots and androids, this dissertation explores an alternative narrative. Here the inanimate object, first perceived either miraculously or idolatrously to come to life, is then observed as something that the live actor can aspire to, not necessarily the end-result of an ever evolving technological accomplishment. This research project examines a fundamental oscillation between the perception of inanimate images as coming alive, and the converse experience of human actors becoming inanimate images, whilst interrogating how this might articulate, substantiate or defy belief. Chapters i and 2 consider the literary documentation of objects miraculously coming to life, informed by the theology of incarnation and resurrection in Early Christianity, Byzantium and the Middle Ages. This includes examinations of icons, relics, incorrupt cadavers, and articulated crucifixes. Their use in ritual gradually leads on to the birth of a Christian theatre, its use of inanimate figures intermingling with live actors, and the practice of tableaux vivants, live human figures emulating the stillness of a statue. The remaining chapters focus on cultural phenomena that internalise the inanimate object’s immobility or strange movement quality. Chapter 3 studies secular tableaux vivants from the late eighteenth century onwards. Chapter 4 explores puppets-automata, with particular emphasis on Kempelen's Chess-player and the physical relation between object-manipulator and manipulated-object. The main emphasis is a choreographic one, on the ways in which live movement can translate into inanimate hardness, and how this form of movement can then be appropriated.

  • Anon Is Not Dead: Towards a History of Anonymous Authorship in Early-Twentieth-Century Britain Emily Kopley
    Document generated on 09/30/2021 7:56 p.m. Mémoires du livre Studies in Book Culture Anon is Not Dead: Towards a History of Anonymous Authorship in Early-Twentieth-Century Britain Emily Kopley Générations et régénérations du livre Article abstract The Generation and Regeneration of Books In 1940, Virginia Woolf blamed the printing press for killing the oral tradition Volume 7, Number 2, Spring 2016 that had promoted authorial anonymity: “Anon is dead,” she pronounced. Scholarship on the printed word has abundantly recognized that, far from URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1036861ar being dead, Anon remained very much alive in Britain through the end of the DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1036861ar nineteenth century. Even in the twentieth century, Anon lived on, among particular groups and particular genres, yet little scholarship has addressed this endurance. Here, after defining anonymity and sketching its history in the See table of contents late nineteenth and early twentieth century, I offer three findings. First, women had less need for anonymity as they gained civil protections elsewhere, but anonymity still appealed to writers made vulnerable by their marginalized Publisher(s) identities or risky views. Second, in the early twentieth century the genre most likely to go unsigned was autobiography, in all its forms. Third, on rare Groupe de recherches et d’études sur le livre au Québec occasions, which I enumerate, strict anonymity achieves what pseudonymity cannot. I conclude by suggesting that among British modernist authors, the ISSN decline of practiced anonymity stimulated desired anonymity and the prizing 1920-602X (digital) of anonymity as an aesthetic ideal.

  • Mind, Body, Language
    Horst Steinke Mind, Body, and Language in Vico’s Scienza nuova Laboratorio dell’ISPF, XVII, 2020 [25] DOI: 10.12862/Lab20STH 1. Introduction The theme and topics of this essay are taken from the conclusion of Book IV of Scienza nuova (1744) where all three entities appear in a single compact statement, as shown here, first in English translation, followed by the original statements in the 1744 and 1730 editions: To sum up, a man is properly only mind, body, and speech, and speech stands as it were midway between mind and body. Hence with regard to what is just, the certain began in mute times with the body. Then when the so-called articulate languages were invented, it advanced to ideas made certain by spoken formulae. And finally, when our human reason was fully developed, it reached its end in the true in the ideas them- selves with regard to what is just, as determined by reason from the detailed circum- stances of the facts1. In somma non essendo altro l’uomo propiamente, che mente, corpo, e favella; e la favella essendo come posta in mezzo alla mente, & al corpo; il CERTO d’intorno al Giusto co- minciò ne’ tempi muti dal corpo; dipoi ritruovate le favelle che si dicon’ articolate, passò alle certe idee, ovvero formole di parole; finalmente essendosi spiegata tutta la nostra umana ra- gione, andò a terminare nel VERO dell’idee d’intorno al Giusto, determinate con la Ra- gione dall’ultime circostanze de’ fatti […]2. In cotal guisa, non essendo altro l’huomo propiamente, che mente, corpo, e favella, e la favella essendo mezza tra la mente, e ‘l corpo; il Certo cominciò ne’ tempi muti dal corpo; di- poi, ritruovate le favelle articolate, si passò alle certe idee delle formole; finalmente, venendo la ragione spiegata, terminò in quello dell’idee determinate con ragione d’intorno all’utilità; la qual volontà ragionata è ‘l subbjetto della giustizia, e di tutte le ragioni, ch’ ella ne detta3.
