Gian Alberto Farinella L’IMMAGINE DEL PENSIERO – Nuova Edizione

Dario — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 14:50:23 +0000

This book, according to the author, was born from a long frequentation of philosophical texts, from intense raids on scattered pages of poetry and literature, from thousands of hours of listening to music, from luminous journeys in the dark of cinemas and, last but not least, by nocturnal silences shaken by the dull din of the city. In a word, from the careless desire to say two or three things about the image through which thought crystallizes, without forgetting its sensitive and secret origin.
The intent is therefore to disjoint the themes and relationships that support the Western metaphysical system (nihilism, the outcome of Platonism, the question of the subject and truth, the role of sensation and perception, the link between being, truth and art, common sense and aisthesis), through the reading of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, keeping an eye on the hermeneutics of Gianni Vattimo and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, in the direction of another “Image of thought” that encounters the possibilities and metamorphoses of that event which is life.
The new edition is enriched with a chapter and an interlude, respectively dedicated to the figures of time and the spectacularization of existence.

This book was born from a long acquaintance with philosophical texts, from intense raids on scattered pages of poetry and literature, from thousands of hours of listening to music, from luminous journeys in the dark of cinemas and, last but not least, from nocturnal silences shaken by the deaf noise of the city. It seeks to disarticulate the relationships that govern the Western metaphysical system (nihilism, the outcome of Platonism, the question of the subject and of truth, the role of sensation and perception, the link between being, truth and art, the sense and the aisthesis), through the reading of the thought of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, keeping an eye on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, in the direction of an “other” image of thought that encounters the possibilities and metamorphosis of life.

Gian Alberto Farinella MAINOLFI. FARE IL PROPRIO VOLO OGNI GIORNO

Dario — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:10:55 +0000

The sculptor Luigi Mainolfi tells himself to the philosopher Gian Alberto Farinella through themes and images. A contemporary “classic” that, among a multitude of concepts, words, works and stories, arranged alphabetically and often in the form of dialogue, reflects on the artist’s profession and on his own work. The result of a year-long daily attendance, the structure of the book is similar to a dictionary, of which the individual items include questions and answers, as well as comments or considerations on the situation during the interview. The interventions, often serious, sometimes ironic, fully reveal unpublished aspects of Mainolfi’s life and work.
