OBJECTS OF LOGIC. The folklore of analytic philosophy - Richard Davies




With the gradual emergence of analytic philosophy in Italy in recent decades, increasing the usefulness of a text summary of the terminology and of the tools used in that vein. The object of logic is proposed to explain - not to say 'demystify' - the shape of the logic in a manner that is accessible but also systematically, constant reference to historical and philosophical to the impact of the techniques described. The first part outlines some of the basic distinctions of logic that are often omitted in contemporary hand, and the second reviews the construction and symbolism of four families of deductive systems, and the third discusses some of the nodes in applicants to the school analytic philosophy, then we will review some of the solutions proposed.

Richard Davies has studied and taught philosophy at Trinity College, Cambridge (PhD, 1992). He is currently a researcher at the University of Bergamo, where he worked on theoretical philosophy and history of philosophy. He is the author of two books on Descartes (Descartes' Cultivation of the Intellect, 1999; e Descartes: Belief, Scepticism and Virtue, 2001) e di diversi articoli riguardanti la logica, la metafisica, l’etica e la storia della filosofia, apparsi su pubblicazioni italiane e internazionali. Per Mimesis ha curato, insieme ad Andrea Bottani, Ontologie regionali (2007).

THE CHALLENGE OF CRAZY. REALISM, PLURALISM AND CONVENTIONAL IN PHILOSOPHY OF BIOLOGY - Elena Casetta



Prefazione di Matthew Slater

Una delle domande fondamentali, in filosofia della biologia, è quella riguardante lo status della gerarchia Linneana. Che cosa sono le specie? E i generi e gli altri taxa di livello superiore? There are really out there in the world, or are merely linguistic devices, or cognitive in the broadest sense, to help bring order to a world otherwise difficult to handle? And, if not, then when biologists say that certain species are endangered, or who were new discoveries, or that some organisms are a mixture of different species, meaning that their allegations are, and what makes them true (or false)? This paper addresses these questions, bringing the philosophy of biology more generally to the fields of ontology and metaphysics in an attempt to give a ransom to those entities transcategoriali, from platypuses to chimeras, hybrids to GMOs, that seem to undermine our traditional attempts to classify the so-called natural world.

blurring boundaries. THE PROBLEMS OF THE ART, THE SOLUTIONS OF PERCEPTION - Tiziana Andina



"One day, an exhibition of conceptual art at the New York Cultural Center, I saw a work consisting of a normal table on which were laid some books. The books were of philosophers like Wittgenstein and Carnap, Ayer, and Reichenbach, Tarski and Russell. It might well have been the table of my study, because it was anonymous enough to be able to be reduced to a simple work surface and the books were laid on the same type of those who consult frequently for my work. " This is the puzzle - and also the paradox - that runs through contemporary art as well as the ontology of art: the table with books on the New York Cultural Center is considered a work of art, while the same subject, a table with books on philosophy, in my apartment on 119vesima street, New York, is and remains un semplice tavolo. Com’è potuto accadere che la distinzione, classica, tra opere d’arte e oggetti comuni sia stata abbandonata? In un mondo in cui la bellezza è merce sempre più rara, le opere d’arte paiono essere ovunque. Ma sarà davvero così?


Tiziana Andina (www.labont.it/andina), ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca in estetica e ora è ricercatrice presso l’Università di Torino, dove insegna ontologia. Tra i suoi lavori ricordiamo: Il volto americano di Nietzsche, Napoli, 1999; Il problema della percezione nella filosofia di Nietzsche, Milano, 2005; Percezione e rappresentazione. Alcune ipotesi tra Gombrich e Arnheim, Palermo, 2005.

EXISTENCE AND IDENTITY '- Pierdaniele Giaretta, Giuseppe Spolaore



topics philosophical logic What we are trying to say when we assert that something exists, or that certain things are the same thing? Existence is a property, a characteristic of objects? Identity is a relation? It is possible to clarify in a rigorous way, or even to define terms like "exist" and "be the same? Surprisingly, issues like these are often out of the classroom and metaphysics have questioned established models of language and human communication, with sometimes surprising results.


Giuseppe Spolaore è dottore di ricerca in Filosofia ed è assegnista di ricerca presso il dipartimento di Filosofia dell’Università degli Studi di Verona. È autore di articoli di ontologia e filosofia del linguaggio e della logica apparsi su pubblicazioni nazionali e internazionali.
