Some pencil notes to rear inner cover. Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Xi, 283pp. For much of its history, philosophy was not merely a theoretical discipline but a way of life, an "art of living." This practical aspect of philosophy has been much less dominant in modernity than it was in ancient Greece and Rome, when philosophers of all stripes kept returning to Socrates as a model for living. The idea of philosophy as an art of living has survived in the works of such major modern authors as Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Foucault. Each of these writers has used philosophical discussion as a means of establishing what a person is and how a worthwhile life is to be lived. In this wide-ranging, brilliantly written account, Alexander Nehamas provides an incisive reevaluation of Socrates' place in the Western philosophical tradition and shows the importance of Socrates for Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Foucault. ; Sather Classical Lectures 61; 283 pages

Moretti & Vitali 2002. LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO Quale spazio può essere oggi allestito dall’etica? Quali sono le condizioni per ricostituire un luogo dove il soggetto possa dimorare al di fuori di ogni pretesa di fondazione ontologica? La filosofia viene convocata con la psicoanalisi per un ripensamento delle categorie fondative, a partire dall’assunto che la centralità del linguaggio non è segno individuante il genere umano e non lo esaurisce nella sua “fisionomia” di animal rationale, limitato in un’etica puramente valoriale oppure affondato nella solitudine di un’etica tragica. Al vettore del linguistico inteso come ciò che marca la discontinuità con “il resto dell’accadere universale” (Freud) non si tratta però di contrapporre 1′”altro dal linguistico”, come risulta, per certi versi, da alcune delle posizioni filosofiche discusse in questo libro. Occorre piuttosto riprendere a percorrere, sulla scorta del lavoro teorico di Sergio Finzi e di Virginia Finzi Ghisi, “la via lunga e discensionale delle forme”, attraverso cui il soggetto si costituisce coestensivamente al resto dell’accadere universale. Da quest’angolazione, il linguaggio non ha più la funzione di differenziare “l’uomo dall’animale” ma di esplicitare “i legami che intercorrono tra i due” (V. Finzi Ghisi), e diventa punto di arrivo “di un processo silenzioso di metamorfosi della luce e del colore” (S. Finzi). Attraverso questa via lunga e discensionale si dischiude, in virtù del fondamentale e inaugurale passo costitutivo di ogni soggettività che è l’invenzione del luogo della fobia, l’etica della verità del soggetto. Per la preminenza che in tale luogo ha la dimensione rappresentativa, quest’etica si configura come un’etica della rappresentazione. Riconosciuto ed elaborato con le sue “prime invenzioni” (teorie sessuali infantili e romanzo familiare) il proprio fondo psicotico (“l’espandersi disordinato del godimento paterno da cui si nasce”), il soggetto articola il proprio esserci in continuità con quel mondo delle forme da cui discende e ritrova, per questa via, il proprio posto nella grande politela della natura.
