“I respectfully disagree with Agamben” (Slavoj Žižek on Covid-19) – Aleksander Adamski

Posted: September 14, 2020

  Some years ago, Slavoj Žižek was asked to discuss a shattering, traumatic event, an event widely believed to hold world-historic consequence. Žižek began with the following, general qualification:   “When one hears this phrase: ‘nothing will be the same,’ the first approach of a truly thinking person is simply to doubt this.”[1]   The […]

The Pandemic – an Intellectual Challenge

Posted: August 22, 2020

  At least at our latitudes, the Covid-19 pandemic represented an absolute and radical novelty. Not even the most elderly among us, who have witnessed immense tragedies such as war, have ever experienced anything like this. In a short period of time everything changed under the threat of a terrible and invisible enemy: lifestyles, educational […]

Le potenze dell’anima (Sebastian Schwibach)

Posted: July 27, 2020

  Lo scorso febbraio, poco prima che scoppiasse la pandemia, usciva per l’editore Marsilio di Venezia la nuova edizione di Le potenze dell’anima. Vie alla riforma interiore. Dal disincanto al risveglio, saggio di Elémire Zolla pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1968.   La nuova edizione, curata dalla moglie e orientalista Grazia Marchianò nell’ambito dell’Opera […]

What Ethics after Covid-19? (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: June 17, 2020

  “What can I know?” “What must I do?” “What may I hope?” are the three questions that, since Kant’s time, are recognized as essential in every attempt to think about human existence and reality. Three questions to which the experience of the pandemic has taken away any simple answer.   What is in our […]

L’etica che verrà (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: June 17, 2020

Che cosa possiamo conoscere, che cosa dobbiamo fare, che cosa possiamo sperare sono le tre domande che, fin dai tempi di Kant, riconosciamo come essenziali per ogni tentativo umano di pensare l’esistenza e il reale: tre domande rispetto alle quali l’esperienza della pandemia ci ha sottratto ogni facile risposta.     Ciò che è in […]

Vulnerability and Responsibility (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: May 10, 2020

  I am a Professor, I work with words. I know how to fill in any kind of space or time gap with words. I know how to catch the attention of an audience through funny words or emotional phrases. I know how to skirt issues smartly when I do not have all the answers. […]

Vulnerabilité et responsabilité (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: May 9, 2020

  Je suis professeur : je travaille avec des paroles. Je sais comment remplir de paroles toute espèce d’espace ou de temps. Je sais comment captiver l’attention d’un auditoire avec une parole amusante ou une autre émouvante. Je sais comment m’en tirer avec élégance lorsqu’on n’a pas réponse à toutes les demandes. Cela, je l’ai […]

Vulnerabilità e responsabilità (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: May 9, 2020

  Sono un professore, lavoro con le parole. So come si può riempire di parole ogni spazio e ogni tempo, come si cattura l’attenzione di un uditorio con una parola divertente o con una commovente, come cavarsela elegantemente quando non si hanno le risposte a tutte le domande. L’ho imparato: sono i segreti del mestiere. […]

La tarea más difícil (Consuelo Corradi)

Posted: May 8, 2020

  El virus ha afectado a las regiones del norte de Italia y, en particular, a Lombardía, donde se registran más de la mitad de los casos. Aquí los brotes del virus fueron los hospitales (en particular el servicio de urgencias) y las residencias de ancianos. A mitad de febrero en estas instalaciones se mezclaron […]

Coronavirus: i cattolici sono cittadini (Giuseppe Tognon)

Posted: May 7, 2020

  Anche il Papa cammina da solo per Roma. Le chiese sono aperte nella capitale, ma si entra uno per uno, nel rispetto della salute pubblica che è anche rispetto del dono della propria salute. E come se il Signore ci chiamasse uno per uno e non in massa. La Chiesa è come la nostra […]

Covid-19 – Control and Responsibility (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: May 5, 2020

  When the Little Prince said “The essential is invisible to the eyes” he was not thinking about a virus. Yet a virus invisible to the eyes is today urging us back to the essential, depriving us of many things that, at least at our latitudes, we were used to taking for granted: security, health, […]

Covid-19 – Controllo e Responsabilità (Stefano Biancu)

Posted: May 5, 2020

Quando il Piccolo principe dice che “l’essenziale è invisibile agli occhi” non sta certo pensando a un virus. Eppure un virus invisibile agli occhi ci sta oggi richiamando con prepotenza all’essenziale, privandoci di tante cose che, perlomeno alle nostre latitudini, ci eravamo abituati a dare per scontate: la sicurezza, la salute, i rapporti sociali, la […]
