Year: 2018

description: Il volume è dedicato al concetto di rivoluzione. Si tratta di ricostruirne il significato teorico e le sue molteplici sfumature. La modernità è stata più volte definita dalle sue rivoluzioni: la rivoluzione industriale o la rivoluzione francese. Ma è possibile sovvertire la continuità temporale e interrompere il flusso della storia per creare qualcosa di radicalmente nuovo?

Blacks weather, Whites climate
Creators: name: Driscoll, Mark
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2021

description: This essay explores the intersections of race, weather and climate. Earth science construes weather as the temperature and precipitation that impacts environments. Thinking about how this applies to bodies has come into vogue in trying to understand the disproportionate number of COVID-19 infections and deaths for Blacks and Latinx people. Arline Geronimus pioneered this in 1992 when she transposed the notion of “weathering” from its standard meaning of a process that decays wood onto the cumulative racism experienced by Black women resulting in excessive maternal death. Her “weathering hypothesis” tracks the assemblage of negative health outcomes for all African Americans caused by dangerous work environments and polluted neighborhoods. My essay shows how these embodied health effects are linked to larger histories of burning fossil fuels. We now know burning coal and oil transforms the climate by increasing the ratio of CO2 molecules. We also know that this shifting climate determines specific weather outcomes. However, we don’t yet have a full picture of the racial dynamic undergirding this. As a corollary to weathering, this essay proposes a “climating hypothesis” to help expose the power that Euro-descendant whites have wielded for centuries to intervene in the earth’s climate.

description: Processes Under Cataloging: Historical Ontology and Its Consequences. This paper moves from the discussion about the debate on the nature and the tasks of ontology in last decades. Then, we focus on the research program that goes under the name of “Historical Ontology”, claiming that it poses the exigence of the articulation of a “ProcessMetaphysics”: an ontology which is able to give an account of the emergence of novelties in the world and of the transformation of things. Going in search of the possibility of such an ontology in the history of ontology, we suggest that it can be found in the perspective of the Stoicism. Thus, finally, we offer an interpretation of the Stoicism which is filtered by some contemporary readings and theories, and we highlight the ground features of a possible Process Metaphysics through the presentation of four main Stoicism’s topics: Logic, Physics, Language, and Ethics.

Year: 2018

description: Hermeneutic Realism: between Heidegger and Adorno. According to hermeneutic realism, first philosophy is the (singular) hermeneuticscience a priori. Among its central doctrines are the following four theses. (1) The subjectivity thesis states that (a) necessarily space–time includes embodied subjects and that (b) necessarily subjectivity is embodied. (2) The readability thesis states that in perception we read things as tokens (a) of their proper names and (b) of elementary sentences about them. (3) The three aspect thesis of truth states that truth has three essential aspects, a realistic, a pragmatic and a phenomenal aspect (correspondence, assertability and unconcealment, roughly). (4) The antinomy thesis states that thinking as such is fraught with the antinomy of negation, as witness the Liar. The paper discusses Heidegger’s and Adorno’s assessments of these theses in light of the question whether predication or rather negation is the basic operation of thought.

description: Psychopolitics. Characteristics and Strategy. The present paper, taking into consideration the Byung–Chul Han’s concept of psychopolitics, highlights the main features and strategies of the new technique of power that took hold with neoliberal regimes. Transparency, positivity and self–expression find in this frame a relocation of meaning, in terms of subjectivisation and subjugation devices; ICTs show themselves as essential tools for an auto–surveillance accompanied by a feeling of freedom. Then the question: can the category of psychopolitics be considered as an efficient tool for the interpretation of contemporary times?

Metafisica e pensiero complesso
Creators: name: Mariani, Massimo
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: Metaphysics and complex thought. It is, by now, accepted by the majority of the scientific community that science also evolves on presumedland incompatible with the only logical experience; the metaphysical character of problems, hypotheses and conjectures constitutes the raw material for the construction of theoretical systems. In this innovative context, the logic of complexity plays an essential role; by proposing new epistemological criteria, it recognizes greater necessity for rationality, but ensures less sufficiency, denying science hegemonies and privileges on other forms of knowledge. The perspective has a wide revolutionary scope, radically reinterpreting knowledge as a system of transversal networks and interdisciplinary synergies. New forms of reading decipher systems and languages incongruous with the logical and experimental methodologies, in particular the interactions between science and philosophy open new horizons on the interpretation of the idea of “scientific knowledge”.

description: Objectives: Identifying factors associated with opioid use in middle-aged and older adults is a fundamental step in the mitigation of potentially unnecessary opioid consumption and opioid-related harms. Methods: Using longitudinal data on a community-based cohort of adults aged 50–90 years residing in Johnston County, North Carolina, we examined sociodemographic and clinical factors in non-opioid users (n = 786) at baseline (2006–2010) as predictors of opioid use at follow-up (2013–2015). Variables included age, sex, race, obesity, educational attainment, employment status, household poverty rate, marital status, depressive symptoms, social support, pain catastrophizing, pain sensitivity, insurance status, polypharmacy, and smoking status. Results: At follow-up, 13% of participants were using prescription opioids. In the multivariable model, high pain catastrophizing (adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval = 2.14; 1.33–3.46), polypharmacy (2.08; 1.23–3.53), and history of depressive symptoms (2.00; 1.19–3.38) were independent markers of opioid use. Discussion: Findings support the assessment of these modifiable factors during clinical encounters in patients ≥ 50 years old with chronic pain.
Resistant Transparency and Nonprofit Labor: Challenging Precarity in the Art + Museum Wage Transparency Campaign

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2021

description: Drawing upon contemporary academic debates about nonprofit worker precarity combined with needed theoretical re-orientations toward transparency, this paper explicates the situated communication practices and politics of resistant transparency. Resistant transparency describes communication aimed at revealing and publicizing previously obscured or hidden wage data and employment conditions to challenge powerful actors. Resistant transparency involves dynamic shifts in control over information, modes of in/visibility, and surveillance of powerful actors. We develop the case of Art + Museum Transparency, a collective of arts and museum workers employing Google spreadsheets and Twitter to publicize salary information and challenge norms of self-sacrifice and unpaid labor. Moving beyond an understanding of transparency as an institutional demand, our analysis develops how technical affordances shaped the collective’s efforts. We argue that transparency functions as a resistant communicative practice with potential for increasing worker voice and furthering the goals of collective resistance to precarious work across sites of employment.

description: We study the effect of a magnetic field on the current-phase relation of a topological Josephson junction formed by connecting two superconductors through the helical edge states of a quantum spin-Hall insulator. We predict that the Zeeman effect along the spin quantization axis of the helical edges results in an anomalous Josephson relation that allows for a supercurrent to flow in the absence of superconducting phase bias. We relate the associated field-tunable phase shift $ϕ_0$ in the Josephson relation of such a $ϕ_0$-junction to the existence of a so-called helical superconductivity, which may result from the interplay of the Zeeman effect and spin-orbit coupling. We analyze the dependence of the magneto-supercurrent on the junction length and discuss its observability in suitably designed hybrid structures subject to an in-plane magnetic field.

title: Improving our understanding of pesticide residues in pollen and nectar
Creators: name: Gierer, Fiona
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: In recent years, pollinator risk assessments (PRAs) were developed to address the risk from 
pesticide exposure to pollinators. Pollen and nectar can be contaminated with a range of pesticides,
such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Since these matrices are important food sources 
for pollinators and other beneficial insects, contaminated pollen and nectar can represent a key 
route of exposure. However, limited knowledge exists about residue levels and dynamics in these 
matrices for many crops and active ingredients (AIs). Consequently, extensive field trials are 
required to obtain reliable residue values for PRAs, which involve immense expenditure and many 
resources. The first aim of this thesis was to improve the understanding of factors that influence 
residue levels in pollinator-important matrices and identify the processes governing residue 
dynamics in pollen and nectar. The second aim was to investigate correlations and relationships 
between residues in pollen and nectar and other plant matrices, in order to provide insights 
towards the facilitation of PRAs. 
Glasshouse studies were established with the plant species Cucurbita pepo L and Helianthus annuus
L, due to their abundant production of pollen and nectar and suitability to be grown under 
controlled conditions. This study focussed on a systemic (cyprodinil) and a contact (fludioxonil) 
fungicide as model AIs to investigate residue dynamics in various floral matrices following a foliar 
spray application. 
Significant differences in residue levels and dynamics were found between both crops, AIs, and 
floral matrices. Residues found in H. annuus were overall higher than residues found in various C. 
pepo matrices, which could be attributed to the lower biomass of H. annuus and reduced growth 
dilution after application. Leaves and flowers generally exhibited the highest residues in both 
species and nectar the lowest residues. Significant variations in residue levels observed in pollen 
and anthers indicated that complex translocation pathways influenced the residue levels and 
dynamics, which were determined by translaminar movement and translocation of both AIs.
Residues in pollen were particularly influenced by many factors, such as the lipophilicity of the 
compound and pollen type, the temperature, and the application rate. In contrast, residues in 
nectar were less affected by these factors and remained at a low level close to the limit of 
quantification. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that relationships in residue levels between floral 
matrices exist and simple models achieved acceptable accuracy for residue estimation in pollen, 
which could justify the use of surrogate matrices in PRAs. In order to achieve more precise 
estimations, particularly for mainly translocation-dominated processes, more elaborate models are 
required which can quantify the contribution of the above-mentioned parameters to the residue 
dynamics during anthesis.

description: Modern component-based software engineering environments allow deployment of cloud applications on various computing infrastructures, such as Edge-to-Cloud infrastructures. The heterogeneous nature of such computing resources results in variable Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, the deployment decision can seriously affect the application’s overall performance. This study presents an approach for automated deployment of cloud applications in the Edge-to-Cloud computing continuum that considers non-functional requirements (NFRs). In addition, the authors explore multiple methods for selection of optimal cloud infrastructure, such as IaaS. The paper presents an experimental evaluation performed using a cloud application for storing data under different workloads. For the purposes of the experimental evaluation, a Kubernetes cluster composed of 44 computing nodes was used. The cluster nodes were geographically distributed computing infrastructures hosted by several service providers. The proposed approach allows a reliable selection of infrastructures, which satisfy high QoS requirements for cloud applications, from heterogeneous Edge-to-Cloud computing environments.
description: Современные среды разработки программного обеспечения на основе компонентно-ориентированного программирования позволяют беспрепятственно развертывать облачные приложения в различных вычислительных инфраструктурах, таких как Edge-to-Cloud. Неоднородная природа таких вычислительных ресурсов приводит к непостоянному качеству обслуживания (QoS). Поэтому решение о развертывании приложения может серьезно повлиять на его общую производительность. В статье рассмотрен подход к автоматизированному развертыванию облачных приложений в вычислительном континууме Edge-to-Cloud, учитывающий нефункциональные требования (NFR). Исследованы способы выбора оптимальной услуги с точки зрения ожидаемого качества обслуживания. Экспериментальная оценка проведена с помощью облачного приложения для хранения данных в трех случаях с разной нагрузкой. Проведены эксперименты на кластере Kubernetes, состоящем из 44 вычислительных узлов (облачных инфраструктур). Узлы кластера были географически распределены в нескольких местах и размещались несколькими поставщиками услуг. Подход позволит надежно выбирать инфраструктуры из гетерогенных Edge-to-Cloud сред, удовлетворяющих требованиям к качеству обслуживания облачных приложений.

Between Nature and Ethics

Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: This paper aims at providing with a discriminating discussion of Husserl’s account of vocation from the perspective of his phenomenological axiology. In particular, I will deal with the relation between vocation and natural life. My core thesis is that the transcendental structure of vocation tends to “flow into” natural life, namely into the empirical world. Consistently with a number of claims in the Crisis of the European Sciences, I will argue that the phenomenon of “flowing” (Einströmen) of transcendental subjectivity in natural life is particularly observable in the domain of ethics. After a reconstruction of Husserl’s lectures on ethics (1914 and 1920–’24), I will emphasize how the concept of absolute ought develops into the notion of vocation throughout the 20s, together with Husserl’s interests in genetic phenomenology. In the final section I focus on the relation between vocation and the individual’s empirical life with its temporal and intersubjective structures.

description: “The Physics of the All”. Some Notes about Plato’s Chiasm of Nature and Theory. After outlining the radical depth of Parmenides’ thesis and the Eleatic legacy unavoidability, the paper aims at reviving a precise speculative attitude, which is rooted in a monistic lecture of Plato’s Timaeus. This Dialogue actually shows as questioning about nature parallelly raises a research on the philosopher’s theoretical behaviour. In accordance with this implication, promoting a theory of nature founded on a cosmological unitary principle, that both includes being and thought, also reveals the nature of the theory. «Φύσις το υ παντὸς» is indeed an emblematic expression adopted in the Timaeus that points out that theoretical attitude focused on nature, which at the same is the theory assumed as attitude, that is as nature. Philosophical theory is then natural no more than nature is theoretical. In order to prove this chiasm, the paper deals with some crucial issues of the platonic heritage, such as the relation between being and seeming, the dialectics articulation of monad and dyad within the so called principles’ doctrine, the epistemic status of Physics and the myth’s role. The results achieved by this investigation allow to assume platonism as a dynamic and genetic philosophy, instead of a dualistic and essentialistic system: the platonic ideas do not designate disembodied and theorematic entities, but they closely look like organisms, powers informing the world.

description: Domestic violence (DV) represents a significant public health concern in the United States, including among Latinx populations. Despite the negative consequences associated with experiencing DV, research has shown that Latinx DV survivors may be less likely than others to utilize important services. One potential barrier is cultural competence (CC) in the provision of services specific to Latinx survivors among DV organizations. Thus, a beneficial addition to the field of DV service provision for such survivors is a better understanding and measurement of CC for this unique population. The exploratory, cross-sectional study herein presents the development and evaluation of a novel instrument for measuring the CC of DV organizations. Exploratory factor analysis was used on a purposive sample of 76 organizations in North Carolina who completed a comprehensive survey on their characteristics, practices, norms, and values. Psychometric results found best support for a 29-item, 4-factor bifactor model with both a general CC factor as well as three sub-factors. The general scale was named “General Cultural Competence,” while the three sub-scales were named “Organizational Values and Procedures,” “Latinx Knowledge and Inclusion,” and “Latinx DV Knowledge.” The final measure also demonstrated convergent validity with key organizational characteristics. Overall, higher CC scores were associated with organizations having more DV services in Spanish, a higher percentage of staff attending CC training, a higher percentage of staff attending Latinx service provision training, and a medium or greater presence in the Latinx community, and a moderate or stronger relationship with the Latinx community. The development of this measure is particularly useful in addressing knowledge gaps regarding the measurement of CC for Latinx DV services. Implications have importance for both the measurement of organizational CC and the scope of the measure’s associations with organizational, provider, and client outcomes.

Acting the Absolute
Creators: name: Corriero, Emilio Carlo
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: Is it really plausible an ethics without ontology? The controversial status of moral philosophy, its lack of foundations and the difficulties connected with its argumentation usually entail within the contemporary philosophical debate an approach which has a bias for a theory of ethics independent from a philosophical Weltanschauung. This is in particular due to the fact that the widespread “naturalism” in philosophy, would eliminate the room for freedom as necessary condition of any moral action. Indeed the fundamental question of moral philosophy lies in the possibility to solve Kant’s third antinomy, in a way that Kant himself seems to outline in its Kritik der Urteilskraft. This was at the end the main aim Schelling pursued in its philosophy of nature, thinking of it as the grounding of the entire philosophy, ethics included. The particular nature of the grounding, that Schelling finds in his inquires, entails freedom as the main character of being in general and of human being in particular. For its particular position in the world, its Mit(t)wissenschaft of creation, the human being is able to act according to the law of Identity, and its action— when it is ethical—repeats and continues the action of the Absolute.

description: A noetic way to naturephilosophy. Following F.W.J. Schelling’s analyses on I. Kant’s Transcendental Dialectic, the Author will study the possibilityof an a priori conception of nature and its metaphysical determination as a potentia non existendi. The hypothesis of a metaphysical identity between thought and nature will be explored through an inquiry into the rationality of natural beings; or rather, through the analysis of a rational – but not rationalising – comprehension of them, traceable to their connection with a noetically – determined Being. This comprehension, which includes a special reflection on spatiality as the form of existence of natural beings, will prove to be equidistant from understanding nature as a material foundation of intellectual faculties, on the one hand, and reducing it to Spirit itself, on the other hand.

description: This work investigates the associations between experiences of domestic minor sex trafficking and adolescent interpersonal violence victimizations, including intimate partner violence (IPV) and community violence. Abuse and violence in childhood are commonly proposed as risk factors for domestic minor sex trafficking. However, less is known about how interpersonal violence victimizations in adolescence connect to domestic minor sex trafficking experiences. The poly-victimization framework provides a means to understand domestic minor sex trafficking as a type of violence amid a web of additional interconnected violence victimizations. Efforts to better understand the interpersonal violence experienced by survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking are valuable in contextualizing trafficking experiences for adolescents. Data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a population-based sample of adolescents in the United States (n = 12,605) were used to examine experiences of domestic minor sex trafficking for minor respondents, as measured through questions about exchanging sex for money or drugs. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to estimate the associations between domestic minor sex trafficking and IPV or community violence, while controlling for demographic variables and adolescent risk behaviors. Minors who experience community violence had significantly greater odds of having exchanged sex (aOR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.32 -2.64). However, IPV was not significantly associated with minors’ experiences of sex exchange (aOR: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.85 -1.54). Alcohol or drug use (aOR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.32 -2.65) and having run away (aOR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.53 -2.72) were also significantly associated with minor sex exchange. As experiences of domestic minor sex trafficking were significantly associated with community violence victimizations, prevention and intervention efforts targeting youth at high risk for or survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking should consider how community violence victimizations impact these adolescent populations, and programming/messaging should be adjusted to account for these additional violence victimizations.

description: Precision phase readout of optical beat note signals is one of the core techniques required for intersatellite laser interferometry. Future space based gravitational wave detectors like eLISA require such a readout over a wide range of MHz frequencies, due to orbit induced Doppler shifts, with a precision in the order of $μ\textrm{rad}/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$ at frequencies between $0.1\,\textrm{mHz}$ and $1\,\textrm{Hz}$. In this paper, we present phase readout systems, so-called phasemeters, that are able to achieve such precisions and we discuss various means that have been employed to reduce noise in the analogue circuit domain and during digitisation. We also discuss the influence of some non-linear noise sources in the analogue domain of such phasemeters. And finally, we present the performance that was achieved during testing of the elegant breadboard model of the LISA phasemeter, that was developed in the scope of an ESA technology development activity.

description: Antipsychotic medications are frequently prescribed to assisted living (AL) residents who have dementia, although there is a lack of information about the potential side effects and adverse events of these medications among this population. Oversight and monitoring by family members is an important component of AL care, and it is important to understand family awareness of antipsychotic use and reports of potential side effects and adverse events. This cross-sectional, descriptive study of family members of 283 residents with dementia receiving antipsychotic medications in 91 AL communities found high rates (93%) of symptoms that could be potential side effects and a 6% rate of potential adverse events. The majority of families were aware their relative was taking an antipsychotic. Findings suggest that obtaining family perspectives of potential side effects and adverse events related to medication use may contribute to overall improvement in the safety of AL residents living with dementia.
On the Possibility of a Realist Ontological Commitment in Quantum Mechanics

description: This paper reviews the structure of standard quantum mechanics, introducing the basics of the von Neumann–Dirac axiomatic formulation as well as the well–known Copenhagen interpretation. We review also the major conceptual difficulties arising from this theory, first and foremost, the well–known measurement problem. The main aim of this essay is to show the possibility to solve the conundrums affecting quantum mechanics via the methodology provided by the primitive ontology approach. Using Bohmian mechanics as an example, the paper argues for a realist attitude towards quantum theory. In the second place, it discusses the Quinean criterion for ontology and its limits when it comes to quantum physics, arguing that the primitive ontology programme should be considered as an improvement on Quine’s method in determining the ontological commitments of a theory

description: Virtual communities on the Internet, allows users to communicate, exchange information and share knowledge in order to meet their needs. Many of the virtual communities failed due to members’ lack of willingness to share knowledge with each other. The main purpose of this research is to focus on the factors affecting interpersonal trust and investigate the effects of interpersonal trust on intention to knowledge sharing in virtual communities. Increase in interpersonal trust can increase motivation of virtual members in order to increase knowledge sharing. So, we need to understand the factors affecting interpersonal trust and knowledge sharing behavior of members. Based on the extensive literature review, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted and the experimental data were collected from 27 communities. So in this study, the effect of different factors, on interpersonal trust and impact of interpersonal trust on knowledge sharing intention was evaluated between 336 virtual community members. Data were analyzed using structured equation modeling, in order to test the measurement model using confirmatory factor analysis, and to test the structural model. Results indicated that interpersonal trust has a significant impact on intend to share knowledge among users of virtual communities and factors including ability, benevolence, integrity, predictability, competence, shared vision, knowledge growth, and Create personal connections have a positive influence on interpersonal trust. This study may help managers to manage virtual communities and promote the factors affecting interpersonal trust and stimulate the sharing of knowledge.
Ontogeny and Ontology in Schelling’s Naturphilosophie
Creators: name: Grant, Ian Hamilton
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: Philosophies of Nature after Schelling has two objectives. First, to argue that a philosophy of nature becomes contemporarily viable once lazy readings of it as pro or anti science are dismissed, and more nuanced and philosophical accounts of the materials nature philosophy draws on and the conclusions it reaches are provided. Second, to reject a view of Schelling’s philosophical oeuvre that does not make the Naturphilosophie, in Schelling’s own terms, grounding. Should both succeed, Schelling’s overall philosophical strategy is a contemporary one.

description: We study the damping of the collective excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates in a harmonic trap potential loaded in an optical lattice. In the presence of a confining potential the system is non-homogeneous and the collective excitations are characterized by a set of discrete confined phonon-like excitations. We derive a general convenient analytical description for the damping rate, which takes into account, the trapping potential and the optical lattice, for the Landau and Beliaev processes at any temperature, $T$. At high temperature or weak spatial confinement, we show that both mechanisms display linear dependence on $T$. In the quantum limit, we found that the Landau damping is exponentially suppressed at low temperatures and the total damping is independent of $T$. Our theoretical predictions for the damping rate under thermal regime is in completely correspondence with the experimental values reported for 1D condensate of sodium atoms. We show that the laser intensity can tune the collision process, allowing a \textit{resonant effect} for the condensate lifetime. Also, we study the influence of the attractive or repulsive non-linear terms on the decay rate of the collective excitations. A general expression of the renormalized Goldstone frequency has been obtained as a function of the 1D non-linear self-interaction parameter, laser intensity and temperature.

description: While social distancing measures are essential in limiting the impact of a pandemic, such measures are often less feasible for low-income groups such as precarious workers who continue to travel on public transit and are less able to practice social distancing measures. In this paper, based on in-depth remote interviews conducted from April 2020 through June 2020, with more than 130 gig and precarious workers in New York City, we find that precarious workers experience three main hurdles in regard to accessing unemployment assistance that can be broadly categorized as knowledge, sociological, and temporal/financial barriers. Drawing on worker interview responses, we have named these responses: (1) Didn’t Know, (2) Didn’t Want, and (3) Can’t Wait. These challenges have led workers to turn to gig and precarious work, further highlighting the inequities of the pandemic. As a result, for some workers, so-called “side hustles” have become their primary social safety net.
Ethics and Ontology
Creators: name: Corriero, Emilio Carlo
Publisher: name: Trópos

description: The philosophy of nature can only be linked to scientific knowledge and its most recent results, but, as it is primarily philosophy, it requires further reflection on its theoretical foundations, on the particular status of the discipline as well as on the particular character of its object, nature. A philosophy of nature that presents itself at the same time as a metaphysics of nature (bringing together the complexity of scientific knowledge) and as a ‘transcendental’ reflection on the grounding of being in general is capable of establishing a systematic vision of knowledge that presents solutions in the ethical field too. But in what way can a philosophy of nature provide an answer to the fundamental questions of ethics without risking any form of reductionism? Is there room for freedom within a contemporary philosophy of nature? And what would it entail?

L’opera d’arte dell’anima
Creators: name: De Cesaris, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Trópos

description: In the section of the Encyclopedia dedicated to Anthropology Hegel endorses a technological and mediological conception of body. In order to grant to the Soul access to the external world, body has to be turned into an instrument. Through repeated exercise it becomes a middle term between the Soul and the World, and only thanks to its medial nature is it possible for consciousness to awaken. This peculiar relationship between inner Self and body plays a pivotal role for the whole development of Spirit: the technological approach to body becomes the model for any further contact with the external world. Thus, the Anthropology lays the foundation of Hegel’s whole conception of finite Spirit as a medial dimension: man is a self–productive being whose nature is always a second nature, a form of immediacy that is nevertheless produced (mediated) by his own activity. According to this view body is a proto–medium, and Hegel’s account of technology can be interpreted as a theory of the extended body (in the Anthropology) as well as a theory of extended mind (in the Philosophy of Objective Spirit).
