Sommario/riassunto |
|
This monograph addresses the question of the increasing irrelevance of philosophy, which has seen scientists as well as philosophers concluding that philosophy is dead and has dissolved into the sciences. It seeks to answer the question of whether or not philosophy can still be fruitful and what kind of philosophy can be such. The author argues that from its very beginning philosophy has focused on knowledge and |

|
|
|
|
methods for acquiring knowledge. This view, however, has generally been abandoned in the last century with the belief that, unlike the sciences, philosophy makes no observations or experiments and requires only thought. Thus, in order for philosophy to once again be relevant, it needs to return to its roots and focus on knowledge as well as methods for acquiring knowledge. Accordingly, this book deals with several questions about knowledge that are essential to this view of philosophy, including mathematical knowledge. Coverage examines such issues as the nature of knowledge; plausibility and common sense; knowledge as problem solving; modeling scientific knowledge; mathematical objects, definitions, diagrams; mathematics and reality; and more. This monograph presents a new approach to philosophy, epistemology, and the philosophy of mathematics. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers with interests in the role of knowledge, the analytic method, models of science, and mathematics and reality. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
I saggi di questa raccolta esaminano testi filosofici, religiosi, letterari o artistici utilizzando metodologie e approfondimenti nati dalla riflessione sulla letteratura e sull'arte. In essi, l'espressione "spirito materiale" diventa un punto di partenza per considerare i continui effetti spettrali dei testi e delle preoccupazioni religiose in modi che |
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
non richiedono o presuppongono semplicemente forme nuove o rinnovate di religiosità. Gli autori di questa raccolta cercano di esaminare la religione al di là delle tradizionali nozioni di trascendenza: i loro argomenti spaziano dalle prime pratiche religiose cristiane al cambiamento climatico globale. Alcuni saggi esplorano temi o toni religiosi in testi letterari, ad esempio opere di Wordsworth, Hopkins, Proust, Woolf e Teresa d'Avila. Altri si avvicinano – in un'ottica di critica letteraria – ad autori filosofici o parafilosofici come Bataille, Husserl, Derrida e Benjamin. Altri ancora trattano autori di un orientamento più esplicitamente religioso, come Agostino, Rosenzweig o Bernardo di Chiaravalleor Bernard of Clairvaux. |
