The focus here is the other side of unamendability: a notion, described in his previous books, according to which reality is "unamendable", it cannot be corrected at will. This "resistance" of the real is what ultimately tells us that, in opposition to the claims of post-Kantian philosophy, the world is not a result of our conceptual work: if it were so, our power over reality would be much greater. Now, the often disappointing limits that the real sets against our expectations are also a resource: and this is the key point of the present book. Things exist, and therefore undoubtedly resist us, but in doing so they offer affordances, resources, opportunities.

Through the examination of some of the most important contemporary theories of social ontology, the book discusses the fundamentals of the discipline and lays the foundations for its development in the political sphere. By analyzing the notion of State and the redesign of ontology, the author argues in favor of a realist conception of the State and shows the reasons why this promotes a better understanding of the dynamics of power and the actualization of a greater justice between generations.

Offering a profound discussion of topics such as human identity, our relationship with animals and the environment, and our culture, the author channels the vibrant Italian traditions of humanism, materialism, and speculative philosophy. The research presents a dialogue between the humanities and the natural sciences. It challenges the separation and oppression of animals with a post-humanism steeped in the traditions of the Italian Renaissance.

Sharing significant concerns and features with Speculative Realism and Object Oriented Ontology, New Realism can be said to be one of the most prescient philosophical positions today. Its desire to overcome the postmodern antirealism of Kantian origin, and to reassert the importance of truth and objectivity, has had an enormous resonance both in Europe and in the US.

Ontology of the Mobile Phone - This book sheds light on the most philosophically interesting of contemporary objects: the cell phone. “Where are you?”—a question asked over cell phones myriad times each day—is arguably the most philosophical question of our age, given the transformation of presence the cell phone has wrought in contemporary social life and public space.

Maurizio Ferraris’s Manifesto of New Realism takes aim at postmodernism and hermeneutics, arguing against their emphasis on reality as constructed and interpreted. While acknowledging the value of these criticisms of traditional, dogmatic realism, Ferraris insists that the insights of postmodernism have reached a dead end. Calling for the discipline to turn its focus back to truth and the external world, Ferraris’s manifesto—which sparked lively debate in Italy and beyond—offers a wiser realism with social and political relevance.

Philosophical Notes for Postmodernism - This book examines the concepts behind a philosophical project on postmodernism: the social and cultural condition of our time, the age of the achieved capitalism. It proposes an original theory of postmodern humanism based on the absence of form and describes the development of philosophical thought as a musical “cadenza” that produces meaning in the empty space between the past of the modern and the future of the postmodern.

Not long after that, Andy Warhol was reconciling the world of art with the world of everyday life, painting soup cans and soda bottles. In this book, Federico Vercellone provides an account of the decline of beauty as a Platonic ideal from early German Romanticism to the twentieth century. He traces this intellectual trajectory from Goethe, Dilthey, and Nietzsche, through modernism and the avant-garde move ment, to the work of Adorno and Heidegger. Rather than the death or destruction of beauty, Vercellone argues instead that beauty in the twentieth century came back to live in reality and everyday life.

His statement is just one of the many examples of the contemporary relevance of deliberative democracy. But where does this model come from? When was it born and how did it develop? Starting from the 1980s, this book provides the first, complete history of the idea of deliberative democracy, analysing its relationship with the earlier idea, and practices, of participatory democracy in the 1960s and 1970s.

The volume is divided into three parts. The first addresses the two main questions stemming from life sciences: what is life, and what is the correct understanding of the theory of evolution? The second part looks at metaphysical questions concerning biological entities: environments, species, organisms, and biological individuals. The third part focuses on theoretical questions of particular ethical and political significance: sex and gender, the biotechnological revolution, and the evolution of behavior and culture.

Everyone has their own strategy. Some say they do not paint what is there, but their impressions. Others paint things that are not seen in the world, and therefore cannot be photographed, because they are abstractions. Others yet exhibit urinals in art galleries. This may look like the end of art but, instead, it is the dawn of a new day, not only for painting but - this is the novelty - for every form of art, as well as for the social world in general and for industry, where repetitive tasks are left to machines and humans are required to behave like artists.

This misunderstanding certainly ought to be addressed instead of trying to solve the supposed “disciplinary crisis” of sociology by pushing into the context of discussions of critical-emancipatory problems. Of course, the engaged investigator doesn’t invent specious or false problems, rather acts as a claims-maker: indifferent to epistemological reflection, he becomes part of the very social phenomena that they study. In this way, sociological issues acquire a moral or political dimension, in which it is immediately established what is right and good and what isn’t, as well as what the correct emancipatory direction is.

He ponders how memory is tied to self-identification and knowledge; how the passage of time is only perceptible after it has passed; and how life, ultimately, is accurately portrayed in literature in ways that were seen as inconceivable in our youth. Running throughout the book is the sense that memory is all we are; we are what we remember or what others remember of us.

AI-generated artworks are in search of an author because current copyright laws offer as a solution only public domain or fragile regulatory mechanisms. During the 20th century visual artists have been posing persistent challenges to the law world: Conceptual Art favoured legal mechanisms alternative to copyright law. The case of AI-art is, however, different: for the first time the artworld is discovering the prospective of an art without human authors. Rather than preserving the status quo in the law world, policy makers should consider a reformative conception of AI in copyright law and take inspiration from innovative theories in the field of robot law, where new frames for a legal personhood of artificial agents are proposed.

The term 'virus' can be seen as a key word or an explanatory model also for processes that go beyond the infectious sphere. Every event appears to have a viral character: from the way information is transmitted to the processes of cultural globalization, from the impact of human beings on the planet to the subversion of ecosystems, from pandemic risks to the demographic increase on the planet. This seems to be indeed the Age of the Virus.

Rifiuta i limiti, promette una vita diversa e al liceo è stato lo spirito guida di una rivolta contro ogni ipocrisia e conformismo. Anni dopo, Madeleine e Basile, i suoi amici e seguaci più fedeli, ricevono una lettera che contiene una richiesta d'aiuto in codice. E decidono di sacrificare le loro vite ormai autonome per riportare a Mornay l'amico di un tempo. Il loro legame si rinsalda ma tornano a galla vecchi rancori e vecchie storie, anche quelle più segrete e tragiche, che li costringevano in un'alleanza soffocante. Faber si è ormai trasformato in una sorta di oscura leggenda: mostro manipolatore oppure antica divinità abbattuta dalla ferocia dei nuovi dèi. E i suoi amici si ritrovano in bilico tra fascinazione e paura.

Si chiama Alice e permette a chi la assume di rivivere il sé dei trent'anni, dei venti o perfino dei dodici. Chi non vorrebbe riprovare l'entusiasmo, le certezze, la sensazione di onnipotenza della giovinezza? Ci sono rulli di legno che vengono dal passato e portano incise le canzoni indimenticabili del presente, e forse anche del futuro. E poi ci sono dèi alieni che hanno perduto la fede, e realtà parallele dove la rivoluzione sociale è avvenuta davvero. 7 è un romanzo in sei quadri appesi sulla stessa parete, che insieme li contiene e ne illumina la posizione nello spazio e nel tempo. E i personaggi di queste storie, come surfisti temerari, cavalcano le onde per ritrovare quella parte di sé che crede ancora nel futuro, che ha ancora la possibilità di cambiare e di incidere sul destino con una nuova creazione originale.

It delves into young Schopenhauer’s introduction to philosophy and his initial endeavor to formulate a new metaphysics after Kant, known as the theory of "better consciousness." The book then demonstrates how the internal contradictions within that theory and Schopenhauer's transformative encounter with Indian wisdom lead him to abandon his first attempt and develop his metaphysics of will. The last and most substantial chapter of the book focuses on the author's analysis of the inherent aporias within Schopenhauer's mature system.

In this book, Maurizio Ferraris offers a number of important criticisms of Kant in a book of two parts, written 21 years apart. The first part of the book, 'Observation', originally published in 2001, lays the foundations of Ferraris' New Realism, foreshadowing the realist turn that has become characteristic of 21st century philosophy. The second part, 'Speculation', written in 2021, outlines a complete metaphysical theory of realism.

By combining a series of historical-genealogical reconstructions going back to prehistoric times with the analysis of present and near-future technologies, the authors show that screens have always incorporated not only the hiding/showing functions but also the protecting/exposing ones, as the Covid-19 pandemic retaught us. The intertwining of these functions allows the authors to criticize the mainstream ideas of images as inseparable from screens, of words as opposed to images, and of what they call “Transparency 2.0” ideology, which currently dominates our socio-political life.
