University of Sydney 2016 KEON ESKY Fig. 1 Raffaello Sanzio, ‘La Disputa’ (detail) 1510-11, Fresco - Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican. KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.

  • THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY of JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU the Impossibilityof Reason
    qvortrup.cov 2/9/03 12:29 pm Page 1 Was Rousseau – the great theorist of the French Revolution – really a Conservative? THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU This original study argues that the author of The Social Contract was a constitutionalist much closer to Madison, Montesquieu and Locke than to revolutionaries. Outlining his profound opposition to Godless materialism and revolutionary change, this book finds parallels between Rousseau and Burke, as well as showing that Rousseau developed the first modern theory of nationalism. The book presents an inte- grated political analysis of Rousseau’s educational, ethical, religious and political writings. The book will be essential readings for students of politics, philosophy and the history of ideas. ‘No society can survive without mutuality. Dr Qvortrup’s book shows that rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. It is an excellent primer for any- one wishing to understand how renewal of democracy hinges on a strong civil society’ The Rt. Hon. David Blunkett, MP ‘Rousseau has often been singled out as a precursor of totalitarian thought. Dr Qvortrup argues persuasively that Rousseau was nothing of the sort. Through an array of chapters the book gives an insightful account of Rousseau’s contribution to modern philosophy, and how he inspired individuals as diverse as Mozart, Tolstoi, Goethe, and Kant’ John Grey, Professor of European Political Thought,LSE ‘Qvortrup has written a highly readable and original book on Rousseau. He approaches the subject of Rousseau’s social and political philosophy with an attractively broad vision of Rousseau’s thought in the context of the development of modernity, including our contemporary concerns.

Robert Maggiori opens his brief preface to this special issue of Critique by paraphrasing several questions posed by Eugenio Garin in his Storia della filosofia italiana---questions like: Is it correct to speak in terms of national philosophies? If so, is there such a thing as an Italian philosophy? At what point does it begin? etc. Following this, Maggiori goes on to answer some of the questions by invoking various learned opinions about the history, status, impact and relative position of past and present Italian philosophy. But these questions and their answers will not, I suspect, be much help in introducing an English-speaking audience to this sort of philosophy, since they are aimed at a predominantly European readership-a readership with direct geocultural ties to twentieth­ century Italian thought.

  • The Disenchantment of the World
    2 The disenchantment of the world War on his temples, do not all charms fly At the mere touch of cold philosophy There once was a rainbow in heaven We know her woof, her texture, she is given In the dull catalogue of common things Philosophy will clip an angel’s wings Conquer all the mysteries by rule and line Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine Unweave the rainbow, as it erstwhile made The tender person’d Lamia melt into a shade (John Keats, Lamia, Part II, ll. 229–37) Keats wrote these lines in the early part of the nineteenth century. Yet, it is questionable if the Englishman would have expressed himself in this way had it not been for Jean-Jacques Rousseau.1 More than any other writer, Rousseau became the apostle of the romantic reaction against vain scientism and the intellectual hubris of the Enlightenment. Strangely, perhaps, as Rousseau in the same period was treated as the intellectual father of the French Revolution, and as he – according to Joseph De Maistre and Edmund Burke – was to blame for the demise of the traditional order. To be sure, great men invite different interpretations. Yet, it is difficult in fairness to accuse Rousseau of having sought to undermine the metaphysical foundations of the established order. (We shall argue below that Burke and Rousseau, in fact, shared the same view on the ‘disenchantment of the world’.) Rousseau – the ‘noble savage’ among the ‘philosophers’ – was nothing if not a critic of progress and enlightenment. And it is for this reason that he may be judged irrelevant today.

  • A Political and Philosophical Interview
    Lucio Colletti A Political and Philosophical Interview Can you give us a brief sketch of your initial intellectual origins, and entry into political life? My intellectual origins were similar to those of virtually all Italian intellectuals of my generation. Their starting-point during the last years of fascism was the neo-idealist philosophy of Benedetto Croce and Giovanni Gentile. I wrote my doctorate in 1949 on Croce’s logic, although I was already by then critical of Croceanism. Then between 1949 and 1950 my decision to join the Italian Com- munist Party gradually matured. I should add that this decision was in many ways a very difficult one, and that—although this will perhaps seem incredible today— study of Gramsci’s writings was not a major influence on it. On the contrary, it was my reading of certain of Lenin’s texts that was determinant for my adhesion to the PCI: in particular, and despite all the reservations which it may inspire and which I share towards it today, his Materialism and Empirio-Criticism. At the same time, my entry into the Communist Party was precipitated by the outbreak 3 of the Korean War, although this was accompanied by the firm con- viction that it was North Korea which had launched an attack against the South. I say this, not in order to furbish myself with an a posteriori political virginity, but because it is the truth. My attitudes even then were of profound aversion towards Stalinism: but at that moment the world was rent into two, and it was necessary to choose one side or the other.

Tópicos, Revista de Filosofía 59, jul-dic (2020) ISSN: 0188-6649 (impreso) 2007-8498 (en línea) pp. - 302 Byron Davies Abstract Jean-Jacques Rousseau is often associated with a certain po- litical mode of relating to another, where a person (“a Citizen”) is a locus of enforceable demands. I claim that Rousseau also articulated an affective mode of relating to another, where a per- son is seen as the locus of a kind of value (expressive of their being an independent point of view) that cannot be demand- ed. These are not isolated sides of a distinction, for the political mode constitutes a solution to certain problems that the affective mode encounters in common social circumstances, allowing us to see how these modes might be distinct while the political nev- ertheless shapes the affective.

  • The Transformation of Antonio Gramsci: a Study in Retrieval
    OMNES : The Journal of Multicultural Society 2016, Vol. 7, No. 1, pp. 59-85, http://dx.doi.org/10.15685/omnes.2016.07.7.1.59 ❙Article❙ The Transformation of Antonio Gramsci: A Study in Retrieval Oscar Pemantle Abstract This paper is to present the essential ideas of Anotonio Gramsci about active or creative learning. When contemplating Gramsci’s views “On Education” an intriguing puzzle confronts the educator. In the literature on the topic Gramsci emerges as the hero with two faces, two heads facing in precisely opposite directions. Of the partisans commanding the two thought worlds, four can be singled out for mention here: Quentin Hoare, Henry Giroux, Paulo Friere, and E.D. Hirsch. Many of major scholars have misunderstood Gramsci because they seem to be biased from their own cultural backgrounds. The solution is quite simple. It is a question of techne, not of ideology. It follows that teaching of this form is always value neutral. It cannot have any purely ideological axe to grind for that is the very nature of a techne. ❚Key words：Antonio Gramsci, education, traditionalist, progressivist, active school, creative school, culture The Problem When contemplating Gramsci’s views “On Education” an intriguing puzzle confronts the educator. In the literature on the topic Gramsci emerges as the hero with two faces, two heads facing in precisely opposite directions. The views of Antonio Gramsci on education present a problem to the scholar, the educator, the teacher, and the enlightened citizen con- cerned about the fate of education as a casualty in the war on culture.
