Ars memoriae and scriptura interna by Sara Taglialatela Pdf

This study is concerned with Giordano Bruno's ars memoriae and the relation between his works on mnemonics and philosophy in the first phase of his reflection (1582–1585). The hermeneutic hypothesis that will be explored is that it is Giordano Bruno's De umbris idearum that first reveals his new elaboration of the notion of order, which will then be further unfolded in the philosophical works published in London, especially in the notions of nature, language, and praxis developed therein. The research statement is explored into more detail on a methodological level, through a discussion of Hans Blumenberg's interpretation of Giordano Bruno, and on an analytical level, through a metaphorological interpretation of the inward writing and the shadow metaphors in the De umbris idearum.

Excavating the Memory Palace by Seth Long Pdf

With the prevalence of smartphones, massive data storage, and search engines, we might think of today as the height of the information age. In reality, every era has faced its own challenges of storing, organizing, and accessing information. While they lacked digital devices, our ancestors, when faced with information overload, utilized some of the same techniques that underlie our modern interfaces: they visualized and spatialized data, tying it to the emotional and sensory spaces of memory, thereby turning their minds into a visual interface for accessing information. In Excavating the Memory Palace, Seth David Long mines the history of Europe’s arts of memory to find the origins of today’s data visualizations, unearthing how ancient constructions of cognitive pathways paved the way for modern technological interfaces. Looking to techniques like the memory palace, he finds the ways that information has been tied to sensory and visual experience, turning raw data into lucid knowledge. From the icons of smart phone screens to massive network graphs, Long shows us the ancestry of the cyberscape and unveils the history of memory as a creative act.

Language and its Functions by Pieter A. Verburg Pdf

When Pieter Verburg (1905-1989) published Taal en Functionaliteit in 1952, the work was received with admiration by linguistic scholars, though the number of those who could read the Dutch text for themselves remained limited. The title alludes to the theories of linguistic function set out in 1936 by Karl Bühler, but Verburg regards the three functions of discourse — focussing respectively on the speaker, the person addressed and the matter discussed — as no more than sub-functions of the human function of speech. His central concern is to explore the relationships between thought and language, and language and reality; and the work sets out to provide a historical analysis of views on these relationships in the period 1100 to 1800. The great strength of the work lies in the way in which the views of language are related to contemporaneous moves in philosophy and science, contrasting essentially the mediaeval acceptance of authority, the beginnings of induction in the Renaissance, the dependence of early rationalism on calculation based on axiomatic truths, and the further development of independent observation. All these trends are reflected in the way men thought about language, as well as in the way they used it. Much has been written on the history of linguistics since this book was written, but it still offers a unique view of the development of thinking about language.

Cur Deus Verba by Dr. Jeremy Holmes Pdf

Cur Deus Verba unfolds a systematic theology of Scripture from a single key question: What did God seek to accomplish by making the Bible? The answer requires seeing why the Holy Trinity made anything at all, why the Word became flesh, and finally why the Church needs an inspired text. As Christ is more fully "man" than any mere man, so his Church is more fully "society" than any merely human society. And as every society has its literary tradition, so the Church needed a canon of literature that would be more fully "book" than any merely human book. But to grasp what God intended to accomplish, we have to see how he intended to do it. To the extent possible, God wanted human beings to cause not just the text but revelation itself, and paradoxically this exaltation of human agency gave rise to the need for Scripture’s spiritual sense. The spiritual sense of Scripture leads in turn to a meaning of the term "literal" that is unique to the realm of theology, and the connection between the two means that we cannot follow the literal sense without grasping the spiritual as well. Once God has made what he intended in the way he intended, one question remains: How does this inspired text continue to exist? As with any text, the answer is that Scripture exists in physical books, but really and principally in the hearts of the readers. And Scripture's own place in the salvation history it records means that one human heart is preeminent: the text of Sacred Scripture exists exemplarily in the Heart of Jesus Christ.

The Art of Memory by Frances A Yates Pdf

This unique and brilliant book is a history of human knowledge. Before the invention of printing, a trained memory was of vital importance. Based on a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on the mind, the ancient Greeks created an elaborate memory system which in turn was inherited by the Romans and passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, during the Renaissance. Frances Yates sheds light on Dante’s Divine Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of ancient architecture; The Art of Memory is an invaluable contribution to aesthetics and psychology, and to the history of philosophy, of science and of literature.

Dantean Dialogues by Margaret (Maggie) Kilgour,Elena Lombardi Pdf

Dantean Dialogues is a collection of essays by some of the world's most outstanding Dante scholars., These essays enter into conversation with the main themes of the scholarship of Amilcare Iannucci (d. 2007), one of the leading researchers on Dante of his generation and arguably Canada’s finest scholar of the Italian poet. The essays focus on the major themes of Iannucci’s work, including the development of Dante’s early poetry, Dante’s relation to classical and biblical sources, and Dante’s reception. The contributors cover crucial aspects of Dante’s work, from the authority of the New Life to the novelty of his early poetry, to key episodes in the Comedy, to the poem’s afterlife. Together, the essays show how Iannucci’s reading of central cruxes in Dante’s texts continues to inspire Dante studies – a testament to his continuing influence and profound intellectual legacy.

La contribution de la pensée italienne à la culture européenne by Umberto Eco,Franco Musarra Pdf

Une certaine idee de l'Europe nait avec Charlemagne et depuis ce neuvieme siecle medieval jusqu'a nos jours, la pensee italienne a faconne la culture europeenne de facon profonde et decisive. La pensee italienne, comme elle s'est deployee au cours de l'histoire dans les sciences, la philosophie et les arts, a ete largement assimilee, amendee et transposee dans la plupart des pays de l'Europe. C'est en Italie que naissent les universites, que la vie monastique a ete inventee par Saint Benoit, que la civilisation communale jusqu'a l'invention des banques a pris son essor. Depuis Florence, Venise et Rome, la Renaissance et l'Humanisme conquierent la France, l'Angleterre et les pays du Nord. La nouvelle vision du monde et de la societe, de Machiavel a Giurdano Bruno, de Galileo a Vico, s'implantera dans l'esprit europeen. Au vingtieme siecle, des penseurs et des mouvements politiques italiens ont eu un impact considerable sur l'histoire de la gauche et de la droite europeenne, tandis que l'eclosion des arts (cinema, theatre, musique, architecture) n'ont cesse de fasciner l'Europe entiere. Le present volume contient les Actes du colloque La contribution de la pensee italienne a la culture europeenne, qui s'est deroule du 6 au 8 novembre 2003 au Palais des Beaux-Arts dans le cadre d'Europalia-Italia. Preside par Umberto Eco, le colloque a fait appel a une serie de conferenciers de renommee internationale (Claudio Leonardi, Costantino Marmo, Maria Teresa Fumagalli, Rudi Imbach, Gilbert Tournoy, Jean-Jacques Marchand, Lina Bolzoni, Andrea Battistini, Pietro Corsi, Jean Weisgerber, David Forgacs).
