Mm 155x210 "Il testo offre una riflessione sul ruolo della cultura nella società contemporanea, sullo stato della letteratura e sulle responsabilità degli scrittori e degli artisti in genere. Nel corso del Novecento nazismo e stalinismo, con le loro atroci falsificazioni, hanno tentato di distruggere l'umanesimo centroeuropeo. Le tecniche di persuasione dei mass media e della pubblicità favoriscono da decenni la diffusione della volgarità, dell'approssimazione, della cupidigia. D'altro canto scienze come la matematica e la fisica pretendono dal linguaggio una esattezza assoluta. Steiner offre una impietosa diagnosi delle malattie che stanno privando la parola di forza e legittimità" - Collana "Saggi Rizzoli", prima edizione italiana.

br. Qual è il ruolo dell'intellettuale in un'epoca in cui il desiderio di una presa diretta sul mondo mette fuori gioco le élite e spiazza i mediatori? Il passaggio dalla civiltà dialogica, nella quale passato e futuro erano in permanente mediazione dialettica, alla civiltà digitale, in cui l'"immediatezza" spezza i ponti col passato e ci lascia orfani di fondate previsioni del futuro, mette in campo la questione centrale del nostro tempo: la democrazia, che per definizione è basata sulla mediazione tra una pluralità di attori e procedure, è compatibile con il dominio della civiltà digitale? Nel momento in cui l'innovazione tecnologica rompe il vecchio recinto statuale, miscelando in modo inquietante tecnologia, capitalismo e autocrazia, quale sarà l'esito finale?

(Hartmut Radebold) Anhang Anmerkungen Literatur Die Gesprächspartner Danksagung Aus der Arbeitsbibliothek von Horst Petri, Wiki sagt: Horst Petri (geboren am 28. Februar 1936 in Köln; gestorben am 11. Juni 2022 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Arzt für Neurologie und Psychiatrie sowie Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie. Petri arbeitete als Psychoanalytiker, -therapeut und Supervisor in eigener Praxis in Berlin und ist Autor eines umfangreichen Werks. Petri studierte Medizin in München, Freiburg und Tübingen und erwarb seine Facharztausbildungen an der Freien Universität in Berlin.[1] 1981 habilitierte sich Petri und war bis 2001 Hochschullehrer für Psychotherapie und Psychosomatik an der FU Berlin. Er war ein Vertreter der an den sozialen Problemen und der Gewalt in der Gesellschaft orientierten Psychoanalyse mit besonderem Blick auf die Folgen gesellschaftlicher Fehlentwicklungen für Kinder und Jugendliche. Petri beschäftigte sich mehr als drei Jahrzehnte mit den Auswirkungen familiärer Prozesse auf Gesellschaft und Individuum, wobei ab Mitte der 1990er-Jahre immer stärker das von Petri für weit unterschätzt gehaltene Drama der Vaterlosigkeit bzw. Vaterentbehrung in den Vordergrund seiner Arbeit trat. ISBN 9783861533207

br. Perché Thomas Mann, oggi? Una figura complessa e inquietante, insieme composta e lacerata, rimasta spesso confinata nei limiti della critica letteraria, e dunque per molti versi una figura ancora non indagata e sicuramente inattuale. Questo libro tenta una ricognizione estetica e filosofica del romanziere tedesco, articolata dagli autori (come già nei due precedenti libri su G. Bataille e F. Nietzsche) attraverso un reale dialogo che lascia emergere, all'interno dell'opera manniana, sia le sfaccettature mitologiche sia le numerose connessioni col pensiero filosofico. Partito dalla classica triade del 'pessimismo' tedesco Schopenhauer-Wagner-Nietzsche, col sempre presente e pressante modello goethiano alle spalle, Mann si avventura nella vastità dei territori dello spirito attraverso la necessità della narrazione, presagendo però consapevolmente di essere un 'ultimo', uno che chiude e conclude un intero periodo dell'Occidente. La crisi della coscienza di un'epoca avviata verso la notte e l'oblio; il problema del male e della malattia in relazione all'esistenza stessa dell'arte; la possibilità di un nuovo, difficile umanesimo per poter uscire dalla 'decadenza'; infine, il rapporto col mito come emblema di ciò che è universalmente umano: perciò questo libro è anche uno studio sull'ermetico, ovvero quel peculiare e segreto elemento mitologico che accompagna il 'mago' Mann lungo tutto l'arco della sua opera.
