Pubblicazioni MANIFIESTO DEL NUEVO REALISMO ANALÓGICO Mauricio Beuchot y José Luis Jerez, Circulo Hermeneutico 2013

En este breve libro apuntamos y defendemos una vuelta al realismo, pero de tipo analógico. ¿De qué se trata este realismo analógico? Simplemente de la idea de lineamiento factual que nos lleva a dar cuenta de la existencia de una realidad independiente de nosotros,

es decir, de una ontología autónoma con respecto a nuestro sistema de representaciones e interpretaciones del mundo. En otras palabras, nos sumamos a propuestas como la de Maurizio Ferraris, que desean restablecer un realismo y se oponen a expresiones antirrealistas y muy ligadas al pensamiento posmoderno, que afirman que toda nuestra realidad se encuentra socialmente construida, lo que la vuelve manipulable al antojo; o bien, que tanto la verdad, como la objetividad son nociones vacías, netamente teóricas y lo que es peor aún, nocivas para una sociedad que se piensa democrática. Entonces, este libro –el cual se posiciona desde un enfoque analógico– puede ser tomado como frente de resistencia a expresiones de esta índole, las cuales diluyen los problemas de nuestra actualidad, antes de emplearse en su resolución. Tampoco deben abordarse los trabajos aquí reunidos como una vuelta unívoca hacia las nociones de verdad y objetividad. Nuestra propuesta es ante todo, matizada, moderada, analógica; se trata de buscar salidas reconociendo el laberinto, y no negando su existencia. Un realismo analógico acierta –o se emplea en ello– en el punto medio que liga a la ontología con la epistemología. Es decir, que hay –tal como lo hemos mencionado anteriormente– una realidad independiente de nuestra mente, pero esta realidad no es captada en su inmediatez, sino, a través de una mediación epistémica, hermenéutica, dada siempre dentro de un contexto específico, social, cultural. http://editorialcirculohermeneutico.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/proxima-publicacion-de-la-editorial/ ------------------------ È uscito l’ultimo numero della Rivista di Estetica Rivista di Estetica n.s. n.53, (2/2013), anno LIII. NUOVE TEORIE DELL’IMMAGINAZIONE A cura di: Daniela Tagliafico L’immaginazione è da sempre una delle facoltà più discusse in ambito estetico. Negli ultimi anni, tuttavia, una crescente quantità di dati sperimentali, provenienti in particolar modo dall’ambito psicologico e neuropsicologico, ha aperto nuove linee di ricerca e sollevato nuovi interrogativi circa questa facoltà. Per esempio, possiamo concepire l’immaginazione come uno specifico tipo di stato mentale o dobbiamo intenderla piuttosto come un’euristica simulativa, una capacità di riprodurre altri tipi di stati mentali? È davvero possibile distinguere l’immaginazione dalla memoria? È possibile interpretare disturbi psichici quali il delirio come specifiche “patologie dell’immaginazione”? Quale ruolo svolge l’immaginazione nella nostra capacità di fingere e di comprendere la finzione, e quali altre capacità richiede? I saggi raccolti in questo volume offrono un quadro ricco e variegato dei dati sperimentali oggi a disposizione e degli sviluppi che le teorie dell’immaginazione hanno avuto negli ultimi due decenni. Le conseguenze di queste ricerche non possono essere ignorate da chiunque sia impegnato a comprendere il ruolo che questa facoltà svolge nella produzione, comprensione e valutazione delle nostre attività artistiche.

What Still Stands of the Critique of Pure Reason By Maurizio Ferraris Translation by Richard Davies SUNY series in Contemporary Italian Philosophy Release Date: November 2013

Website: http://www.sunypress.edu/p-5796-goodbye-kant.aspx A penetrating and freewheeling evaluation of Kant’s magnum opus. A best seller in Italy, Maurizio Ferraris’s Goodbye, Kant! delivers a nontechnical, entertaining, and occasionally irreverent overview of Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. He borrows his title from Wolfgang Becker’s Goodbye Lenin!, the 2003 film about East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which depicts both relief at the passing of the Soviet era and affection for the ideals it embodied. Ferraris approaches Kant in similar spirits, demonstrating how the structure that Kant elaborates for the understanding of human knowledge can generate nostalgia for lost aspirations, while still leaving room for constructive criticism. Isolating key themes and concerns in the work, Ferraris evaluates Kant’s claims relative to what science and philosophy have come to regard as the conditions for knowledge and experience in the intervening two centuries. He remains attentive to the historical context and ideals from which Kant’s Critique emerged but also resolute in identifying what he sees as the limits and blind spots in the work. The result is an accessible account of a notoriously difficult book that will both provoke experts and introduce students to the work and to these important philosophical debates about the relations of experience to science.

CFP – The Monist CFP: THE MONIST Special issue 97:3 July 2014 ‘Documentality’: Deadline for Submissions: July 31, 2013 Advisory Editors: Maurizio Ferraris ferraris.ferraris@gmail.com and Leonardo Caffo leonardocaffo@gmail.com Almost every day we engage with documents of a variety of different sorts. We buy plane tickets, collect receipts, sign contracts, request

certificates, pay bills, renew passports, and change our bank account files. This issue of Monist will focus on “documentality,” i.e. the role and importance of documents for social ontology. Do documents embody some essential feature of modern society? And, if so, what role do they play in the constitution of social reality? What kind of entities are documents? Why do so many social and institutional acts require documents? How are changes in documents relate to changes in the social sphere? People strive to obtain green cards; they seek degrees and licenses that will enable them to obtain work and money. What, above all, are the sorts of things that we can do with documents? What is the relation between documents such as diplomas and the social status they bestow? What are the consequences of recent technological innovations which have magnified our capacity to create and store documents, but also made more urgent problems of document management and security. Contributors are invited to address these and other questions that are raised by the ubiquitous presence of documents in our lives. www.themonist.com http://www.themonist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/97-3CFP.html Gli archivi delle newsletter sono disponibili al seguente indirizzo: http://labont.it/archives Il LabOnt è su Facebook all'indirizzo: https://www.facebook.com/LaboratoryForOntology Il sito sul Nuovo Realismo: http://labont.it/ferraris/rassegna-nuovo-realismo
