The importance that the eighteenth-century materialists and the philosophy of Giacomo Leopardi would have assumed in this sense is well known, but may be the experience of the atomic bomb and the comparison with Dario Paccino, through which Timpanaro will come to intuit that materialism does not place a limit only on dialectics, but also on science. sam., 05 juil. 2025 18:57:52 +0200 sam., 05 juil. 2025 18:57:52 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1565 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1178 Our study aims at illustrating with a few examples of a still not fully explored tradition how this  outstanding  ancient text, which had almost disappeared from the intellectual scene out of theological considerations, survived as a parched-up spring to eventually become an impetuous river and then, for the same dogmatic reasons, was forced again to follow  a temporarily subterraneous course to soon re-emerge in roughly the same geographical and cultural area where it had once barely survived. jeu., 01 févr. 2024 15:49:49 +0100 mar., 02 avril 2024 10:05:17 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1178 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1274 Jonathan Swift’s Tale of a Tub (1704) was, he claimed, a satire on corruptions in religion and learning written in defense of the Church of England. The atomistic materialism of De Rerum Natura, with its rejection of an incorporeal spirit or soul and its critique of providence, was accordingly one of the principal targets of the Tale; Swift’s contemporaries, however, feared that his parody was an application and extension of, rather than an attack on, Lucretius’ philosophy. Swift’s text shows their fears were well founded. ven., 09 févr. 2024 14:10:40 +0100 jeu., 22 févr. 2024 14:38:06 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1274 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1260 This paper investigates Lucretius and Spinoza’s materialism like a perspective oriented on the problem of the event. The first part, in particular, is dedicated to the discussion of the physical and ethical aspects of the Lucretian concept of clinamen, intended as the expression of an event that breaks the continuity of the uniform rectilinear motion of matter. The last part attempts to trace, within the Lucretian theory of simulacra, a path of emancipation of our ability to imagine, on the model of the theory of knowledge formulated by Spinoza in Ethics. The aim is to outline an idea of vision as an event in which the viewer takes shape together with what he sees. jeu., 08 févr. 2024 16:29:40 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 16:27:37 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1260 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1196 In this text the Lucretian concept of “clinamen” is read through the psychoanalytic notion of “clinic” in a Lacanian perspective. The basic idea is that the “clinamen” defines a materialism of the encounter that overturns the posture of critical theory in order to open up a new philosophical gesture that we define as “clinical”. lun., 05 févr. 2024 12:24:18 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 13:40:54 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1196 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1255 Since the 70’s Deleuze and Althusser have been reflecting and have elaborating their philosophy in the reinterpretation of the Latin poet, De rerum natura’s work. Their methods, both contrasting and linear, remain a deeply contemporary approach to building an alternative to idealism and materialism dialectic. This will de done through the use of the concept of assembly which is the point of convergence between Deleuze and Althusser from which a power of dismissal can be unfolded with numerous adjuncts and implementations. jeu., 08 févr. 2024 16:03:48 +0100 jeu., 08 févr. 2024 16:04:04 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1255
