This article aims to shed light on the content and purpose of Zeno’s ????????, by examining the so-called “disturbing theses" ascribed to the work. The sources suggest that the treatise was written early on in Zeno’s career and was heavily influenced by the Cynic tradition: therefore, it is possible to interpret the ideal community as a society of wise men only, characterized by the absence of the fundamental customs and institutions of the ancient ?o???, since these are the product of ?o?o? and contrary to nature. An examination of the skeptical context of transmission of these disturbing theses has shown that they are not normative statements, but descriptive ones; therefore, Zeno’s ???????? does not qualify as a political project, but as a form of “high political utopia"

This article aims to study some of the themes linked to the concept of creativity from a philosophical point of view, while also drawing upon other contributions: in particular, paleo-ethnography and cultural anthropology have achieved some results that seem to be fruitfully linked to the speculative field. An important role has been assigned to Immanuel Kant and specially to his Critique of Judgement. The itinerary followed will highlight how the essential feature of creativity is the defining feature of human nature, as already proved by the recent scientific studies

Why do so many of Nietzsche’s biographers refer to the attic situated in Salita delle Battistine in Genoa, one of the landmarks where he lived from 1881, resorting to descriptions taken from his letters from the previous year? By tracing the origin and developments of an error deriving from a fabrication by Elisabeth Nietzsche, the philosopher’s sister, this article demonstrates how an unreliable source, by becoming widespread, can reinforce a misinterpretation for decades. Furthermore, this work provides documentary evidence of the attic and the location that Nietzsche was actually referring to in his letters written in 1880

Twenty years after its appearance in Italy, Philosophical Consultation remains misunderstood and therefore has yet to become established as a professional practice. This depends especially on the lack of a clear and well-founded definition of the practice and of its goals, which causes confusion between Philosophical Consultation and the “helping professions", particularly Philosophical Counseling. This confusion is also found within the international community of practitioners, where Philosophical Counseling is frequently conflated with Philosophische Praxis, the first and original “philosophical practice" which in 1981 marked the “practical turn" in philosophy. This paper offers a general view of today’s Italian landscape and a detailed explanation of how to distinguish Philosophical Consultation from the “helping professions".

The purpose of this article is essentially documentary: it presents the ideational conceptual and productive path of the regional project Philosophy and other knowledge: openness and exercises of dialogue – inspired by a proposal made by the Didactic Commission of the Italian Philosophical Society (SFI) – which the Ancona, Macerata and Urbino branches of the SFI proposed to local schools in the school years 2020-21 and 2021-22. This regional project constitutes a territorial interpretation and “personalizationµ. The educational aims of the path are set out here, through a description of its salient phases and a summary of the evaluation process.
