Anima, mente, corpo e inmortalità : la sfida del naturalismo

Resumen: Il saggio esamina il rapporto anima, mente, corpo alla luce delle sfide del nuovo naturalismo che molto spesso incorpora un secco riduzionismo ed un’opzione materialistica. Questa risulta un apriori, non l’esito di un argomento: J. Searle la chiama “la religione del nostro tempo”. Vengono poi esaminati l’attuale oblio dell’anima, la riduzione del suo tema al mind-body problem, la qualità della tesi ilemorfica, illustrata in specie attraverso le soluzioni dell’Aquinate, l’equivoco del dualismo cartesiano. Chiude il saggio uno sguardo sulla questione dell’immortalità dell’anima.

Listening to Anima Mundi: The Organic Metaphor in the Cosmoecological Perspective

This paper is an attempt to revise an organic epistemological approach toward nature. The sources for such a view are found in the metaphor of the Earth as a living organism, which can be traced even to ancient Greek philosophy. Drawing on the notion of cosmoecology and the Gaia-Uranus Hypothesis, we re-think and supplement the holistic perspective in environmental ethics by emphasizing the role of the embodied of nature, and by turning our attention back “from the heavens to earth”.

‘Proficiscere, anima Christiana’: Gerontius and German mysticism

The popularity in Britain of Elgar's _The Dream of Gerontius_ was triggered by the successful reception of the work in Germany in December 1901 and May 1902. By examining some of the writings on Elgar by German critics in this period, I explain that what may have particularly have appealed to German audiences was the composer's engagement with mysticism, something that as well as being a distinct strand of German theology since medieval times had acquired a new popularity among German artists in a number of fields as part of a reaction to the materialism of Wilhelmine Germany. Through a reading of the work that takes into account both its Catholic theology and ideas of mysticism more generally, I propose that the two Parts of the work should be conceived as taking place simultaneously, rather than successively, and that the work is thus best understood as belonging to the genre of epic rather than drama. ©2013 The Royal Musical Association
